Geographic Priority

What is "Geographic Priority"?The majority of K-8 schools offer partial geographic priority, which means that applicants residing in the school’s zone will get priority to half the seats. Geographic priority does not apply to the other half of their seats, so that applicants outside of the zone will have an equal chance at those seats. There are some schools that grant geographic priority for all of their seats, which means all applicants who live within these schools’ zones will be prioritized for placement. Students residing outside of the zone are less likely to receive a placement for these schools. These schools include Alice Harte, Edna Karr, and Foundation Preparatory Academy.

Students enrolling in most high schools will not receive geographic priority. This approach maximizes student choice and allows schools to specialize in particular programs and areas. Families should consider these factors when selecting schools and planning for next school year.

How is priority status determined?Geographic priority is determined by "catchment zones," a way of splitting up the city by neighborhood. The zones we use to determine placements can be seen in the map above. There are six catchment zones total: Downtown / Ninth Ward (1), Central City / Garden District (2), Uptown / Carrollton (3), Mid-City / Lakeview (4), New Orleans East / Gentilly (5), and the Westbank / Algiers (6).

To find out which schools are in your zone, and which zone your neighborhood is in, see below.
