Summary:
Edna Karr High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Edna Karr High School district in New Orleans, Louisiana. With a total enrollment of 1,134 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population (89.68%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (74.51% receive free or reduced-price lunch).
While Edna Karr High School has a relatively large student population, its academic performance is generally below the state average. The school's proficiency rates range from 46% in Geometry to 73% in English I, compared to the state averages of 58% to 66%, respectively. Over the past three years, the school's statewide ranking has consistently placed it in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools, ranging from 178 to 213 out of 333 schools.
The school's challenges may be attributed to a combination of factors, including its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a slightly higher-than-average student-teacher ratio of 21.8. To improve student outcomes, Edna Karr High School may need to focus on targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and strategies to better support its economically disadvantaged population.
