New Orleans Public Schools (NOPS) is the school district serving the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. It includes a mix of traditional public schools and charter schools, providing education to students from pre-kindergarten through high school. The district aims to improve educational outcomes and ensure access to quality education for all students. In recent years, NOPS has undergone significant reforms, particularly after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. These changes have led to a unique system where many schools are independently operated as charters, allowing for greater flexibility and innovation in teaching methods and curriculum.
