How The Net Charter High School compares with Louisiana and U.S. medians
What stands out at The Net Charter High School
The Net Charter High School is a high-poverty, small charter combined-grade school in New Orleans, Louisiana, enrolling 213 students.
Class loads run heavy: 26.6:1 is larger than about 97% of Louisiana schools and 58% above the 16.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 77.8% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 213 puts it in the smaller third of Louisiana schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,330 scored Louisiana schools.
Among 174 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Louisiana schools statewide, it ranks #146, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (82% of enrollment) (diversity index 32/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 107 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 52.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 21.4% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among New Orleans's public schools, it stands alongside The Willow School (2,225 students): The Net Charter High School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.6:1 vs 20.6:1).
The Net Charter High School is a single-school charter district, so The Net Charter High School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
