INTRODUCTION The Urban League of Louisiana Parent Information Center (PIC) is proud to present the 8th edition of the New Orleans Guide to High Schools and Beyond. PIC strives to empower parents to be successful agents and advocates for excellent schools and to educate parents about school choices. As New Orleans works toward an excellent school system, its success in maximizing student achievement is directly linked When Choosing A High School to how informed parents are to make a substantive decision on school choice and how involved parents are in their child’s education. The New Orleans Guide to High Schools was created in response to the need for a resource that would aid students and parents in their journey to finding the right high school. We know that every parent does not always have time to visit every school, which led to the creation of this comprehensive guide that would assist parents and students in making informed decisions when choosing high school. The Guide contains information on every high school, admissions process, average ACT scores, and the percentage of students who graduate and attend college. Parents can now spend less time researching information and more time deciding which school is the best fit for their child. Additionally, the Guide can be used to help students and their parents begin the conversation of preparing for high school and their future by discussing important factors to consider when choosing a high school. Several tips, such as interview etiquette and essay writing are included to ensure that the student’s first year is successful. Students, parents, school administrators and staff can benefit from using the Guide. For students, there is a self-assessment to help determine what is important when considering schools. For parents, there is information to help explore all high school options, and a section on funding tuition that explains how schools can assist in the process. For school administrators and staff, the Guide can be a tool they can use to assist students with essay writing or interview preparation. In addition, schools can gauge how they are performing compared to other New Orleans high schools. This guide is created to be user-friendly for students and parents. Students and parents are able to fill out the questionnaire and analyze results, write down answers to questions asked of schools and even create a plan for recommendation letters. “Prepping for Success,” outlines ways middle school students can enhance their high school applications. The Guide includes information on Jump Start Graduation Career Pathways and College Readiness. Pay close attention to this information, as it will be helpful on your journey to and through your high school experience. While we collectively work toward making every high school a high performing school, many are making academic strides. We encourage families to consider all schools that meet their needs and values even if they do not fall within their traditional choices. We hope that this Guide aids in the high school selection process and becomes a premiere resource for all families in their pursuit to help students to be successful in high school and beyond! 5
