Private schools in greater New Orleans

134 K-12 private schools in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and Washington parishes, grouped by area. 124 are BESE-approved, the status a school needs before LA GATOR can pay its tuition.

About these figures. Approval status, grade span and enrollment come from the Louisiana Department of Education, 2025-2026 BESE-Approved Nonpublic Schools Academic Classification List & Brumfield v. Dodd Approvals (May 19, 2025). STO participation comes from the Louisiana Department of Education, Tuition Donation Credit Program 2024-2025 Participating Nonpublic Schools. Teacher counts, affiliation and addresses come from the U.S. Department of Education, NCES Private School Survey (2023-24 public-use file; 2021-22 where a school did not respond in 2023-24). Louisiana does not collect tuition, so every tuition figure has to come from the school itself.
