The reports have served as yearly snapshots of the evolution of New Orleans’ public education system over the past two decades as students and educators have achieved significant academic progress.  \nSPENO always provides analysis of the majority of publicly available data about public schools in New Orleans, including on issues such as charter school governance, enrollment, academic achievement, and the postsecondary success of students. Additionally, each individual report also focuses on topics specifically important to the year in which the report was published, which have varied over time. This year’s report examines the impact federal education funding cuts and the state’s new accountability system may have on city schools, in addition to taking a closer look at student performance based on demographics.  \nAs is true for every SPENO, this year’s report is not meant to serve as an exhaustive or complete review of every facet of public education in New Orleans. It would be impossible to do so given the complexity of New Orleans’ public education system. Instead, we see value in compiling and summarizing publicly available data on New Orleans’ education landscape into a single, cohesive report that can then serve as a historical reference of the system in the year the report was published, while also tracking broad trends over time.  \nEvery edition of SPENO is shaped by a rigorous external review process, drawing on insights from government officials, educators, state agencies, non-profit organizations, community members, and researchers. This collaborative feedback is essential, not only to ensure accuracy in a landscape defined by constant change, but also to give stakeholders a genuine voice in how critical issues are framed and understood.  \nThrough this process, we are committed to offering an unbiased presentation of the data and reminded that there is no single way to tell the story of public education in New Orleans. It is a story that is complex, often contested, and deeply personal to those who live it.  \nWe offer this report as an invitation: a starting point for deeper inquiry, and a shared foundation for the honest, informed conversations that students, families, and communities in New Orleans deserve.  \nFinally, we’d like to note that this will be the final year in which SPENO will be published at the end of the academic year. Going forward, to better align with the Louisiana Department of Education’s ( LDOE) release of academic data, we will publish the report at the beginning of each calendar year, with the next version of this report coming in January 2027.  \nOne note: throughout the report, whenever possible, when we reference New Orleans public schools, we are referring to all public schools geographically located in Orleans Parish. This includes all schools overseen by New Orleans Public Schools ( NOLA-PS), as well as those overseen by the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education ( BESE) and the State Legislature. When we look at only NOLA-PS schools, the text makes it clear we are doing so.  \nThe Cowen Institute would also like to thank Entergy of New Orleans for sponsoring this report.  \nThe Cowen Institute equips leaders and practitioners with skills and resources to increase educational and postsecondary success among New Orleans students.  \n3  \n4  \nCURRENT EVENTS   \nNew Orleans' public schools exist in a complex and ever-changing landscape. To provide context about that environment, this year's Current Events section summarizes key events and takes a closer look at two issues that could significantly shape the near-term future of public education in the city: federal funding cuts and scho","cbCaiaXQtt4ax9e1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaXQtt4ax9e1","pdf",6859601,36,"English","# Introduction\n## Current Events","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of The State of Public Education in New Orleans (SPENO)?\",\"answer\":\"SPENO informs the public about public education in New Orleans by compiling and summarizing publicly available data as yearly snapshots of system change.\"},{\"question\":\"Which issues does this year’s report focus on in Current Events?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how federal education funding cuts and the state’s new accountability system may affect city schools, and it highlights key events such as funding-related developments and school closures.\"},{\"question\":\"What scope does the report use when referencing New Orleans public schools?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to all public schools geographically located in Orleans Parish, including schools overseen by NOLA-PS, BESE, and the State Legislature, while clarifying when discussions are limited to NOLA-PS schools.\"}]","THE STATE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NEW ORLEANS - Report Introduction | PDF",1792050816,91]
