Louisiana Department of Education release of School Performance Scores for the 2017-2018 school year shows that all schools in the network – Paul Habans Charter School, Akili Academy of New Orleans, and Harriet Tubman Charter School – are “A” grade schools for student growth. This ranks them among the most successful open-enrollment, K-8 schools in New Orleans.

At Crescent City Schools, we believe that looking at student growth – how much a student actually learns and improves from one year to the next – is a powerful measure of a school’s impact.

At a time when math scores are dropping across many parts of Louisiana, there is a class of eighth graders at Akili Academy who have elected to include advanced math into their learning day.

Because of their enthusiasm for science and recommendations from their teachers, eight young scientists from Habans were invited to participate in an amazing, one-week program at Tulane University called LightLab

This August, after five years, Harriet Tubman Charter School was able to return to its fully renovated, historic school at 2013 General Meyer Ave.
