When considering which type of school to attend, it is not always easy to compare the various types. Some families assume that everything offered by private schools is superior, justifying tuition costs. Others, contend that public schools provide more real-life experiences or, in some cases, more-developed specialty programs. While we do not contend that one is better than the other, it is important to know the most fundamental differences between public, private, and Catholic schools. Do not rely on third party information when it comes to deciding. Visit the schools and ask many questions. At the end of the day, choosing the best school for your child is a highly personal decision based on your family's situation, values, and the special needs and interests of your child. PRIVATE May use any factors to select students including the ability to pay, test scores, student GPA, parent involvement, etc. PUBLIC Most schools are open to all students and have no admission requirements. Selective admission OPSB schools have GPA, testing, application, and/or other entrance requirements. Timeline and process varies from school to school. All OPSB high schools with the exception of NOCCA, Lusher, and Franklin follow the OneApp timeline and OneAPP process. Tuition varies. Sometimes scholarships and other forms of financial aid are available. Tuition is free, but there may be some cost involved for uniforms, transportation, extracurricular activities, etc. Schools have control over curriculum. Direct-run schools have a district mandated standardized curriculum. Charter schools have much more freedom with their curriculum. Independently governed. Governed by OPSB, AND BESE. May have a religious focus, but may be secular. Most, but not all, private schools in New Orleans are Christian. Selective admission based on any number of criteria. Do not have to accept children with special needs. All teachers are qualified under non-public school standards, although they may or may not be state certified. Not required by the state. The school may use alternative methods to track progress. Public schools cannot, by law, have a religious focus. Most have no selection criteria, but entrance may be first come-first served, lottery (most common), or selective admission based on any number of criteria. Must educate all children and provide any necessary programs to meet their needs. Public schools typically require their teachers to be certified or working towards certification. All schools must participate in state mandated testing. 7
