New Orleans College Prep Revenue and Competitors

New Orleans College Prep’s (NOCP) mission is to prepare students with academic and life skills for success in college, career, and beyond. Our vision is to establish public schools of excellence - “private schools for free” - for at-risk and underserved children in New Orleans. Over the past several years, NOCP has grown from a single school with a single grade of 100 students, to now operate 3 schools serving over 1,500 students from birth to 12th grade. NOCP will continue to expand its services to additional campuses throughout New Orleans in the coming years. NOCP is serving its part in a broader city-wide vision to make New Orleans the first 100% high-performing urban school system in our nation’s history. NOCP is producing significant student achievement gains for our students, 98% of whom are African-American and low-income. Recent highlights of our achievements include: • Cohen College Prep High School’s Class of 2014 achieved a 92% high school graduation rate and a 100% college acceptance rate. • The Class of 2014 earned the highest average scholarship amount per pupil, and the highest percentage of students scoring 17 or above on the ACT, when compared to all other open enrollment high schools in the city. • Our most recent takeover of a failing school, Crocker College Prep, achieved the highest growth in the city on the state tests in 2014, growing from the lowest performing elementary school in the city to scoring above the district average after the first year of NOCP management. We are very proud of our school staff, parents, and scholars for these achievements, but we have much more to accomplish in order to fully realize our mission of 100% of our students prepared for success in a rigorous 4-year college.
