School Guides

The Urban League of Louisiana Parent Information Center (ULPIC) equips and empowers parents to be successful agents and advocates for excellent public schools and educates parents about school choices.

As New Orleans works toward an excellent school system, its success in maximizing student achievement is directly linked to how informed parents are to make a substantive decision on school choice and how involved parents are in their child’s education.

To further assist parents in navigating the selection process, ULPIC extracted valuable information from two of their publications, the New Orleans Guide to Early Childhood Education and the New Orleans Guide to High School and Beyond… and developed this website.

The site provides useful information as to how to assess the early childhood center and high school selection process. It provides insight on high school and center types, key indicators and factors to consider, choosing, applying, funding (when applicable), and much more.

ULPIC encourages families to consider all schools that meet their child’s needs and values even if they do not fall within their traditional choices.
