About the company

Crescent City Schools is a non-profit charter management organization that runs open-enrollment public charter schools in New Orleans, with a focus on turning around failing schools to raise student achievement. Its network includes multiple K-8 campuses and specialized programs, supported by per-pupil state funding, and it provides a shared system of curriculum development, data and technology services, special education support, and teacher coaching. The organization’s turnaround approach means it takes over underperforming schools and works to improve their state performance scores, as seen in Harriet Tubman Charter School and Dorothy Height Charter School (formerly Paul Habans), plus the Akili Academy and Mildred Osborne merger. Its goal is to prepare all students for college and offer life-changing educational experiences by expanding access to higher-performing schools for New Orleans students.
