THE NET CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL

The NET Charter High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the The NET Charter High School school district, located in New Orleans, LA with about 135 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, The NET Charter High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The NET Charter High School, located on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in New Orleans, is a unique, non-traditional public charter school specifically designed to serve students who have struggled in or disengaged from conventional school settings. Often referred to as a "dropout recovery" school, The NET focuses on students who have faced significant life challenges, including over-age high schoolers or those who have previously left the system. Its mission centers on providing a supportive, flexible, and trauma-informed environment that prioritizes academic re-engagement and individualized support to help students earn their high school diplomas.

The school is well-regarded for its holistic approach to education, which emphasizes small class sizes, strong teacher-student relationships, and a culture of restorative justice. By integrating social-emotional support with rigorous, competency-based learning, The NET aims to remove the structural barriers that typically hinder graduation. Beyond academics, the school provides intensive wrap-around services—such as counseling and career readiness programs—to ensure that students are not only prepared for graduation but are also equipped with the life skills necessary to transition into adulthood, higher education, or the workforce.
