State releases 2015 report cards and school scores for most high schools

Schools with just ninth through 12th grade received letter grades.

The Louisiana Department of Education today released report cards for some high schools based on 2014-15 school year achievements. In Orleans Parish, 12 schools increased their school performance scores while 6 dropped.

Not all high school scores were released today, just those with enrollment of only ninth through 12th grades. High schools that are part of a K-12 school will not be announced until elementary- and middle-school scores are ready in December.
