NOLA Public Schools Releases K-12 Main Round of NCAP Results for 2025-2026 School Year

(New Orleans – March 27, 2025) – Today, NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) released NOLA-PS Common Application Process (NCAP) Main Round placement results for K-12 for the 2025-2026 school year. Families can log-in and review placement results for K-12 by visiting nola.ps/apply

The NCAP is the centralized school enrollment application process for Orleans Parish public schools. NCAP provides students and families with the opportunity to apply to schools citywide.

K-12 Enrollment

For the 2025-2026 school year, NOLA-PS received 8,407 applications for new placements in grades K-12. 99% of sibling applicants were matched to their sibling's school.

• 94% of Kindergarten and 9th grade applicants seeking a new placement received one, with 91% receiving one of their top three choices.

• >99% of eligible applicants to Kindergarten and 9th grade were placed at a sibling's school.

The results continue to demonstrate our commitment to equitable access for families to the schools of their choice. Most students participating in the NCAP process have been placed in one of their top three school choices; in nearly every case, our schools were able to admit siblings; and students entering Kindergarten or 9^th grade were matched to schools they identified as a good fit.

"This year, we're proud to have transformed how families connect with our schools. With a map now embedded in the application, a passwordless parent portal using social logins or email codes, and tailored guidance for schools with extra steps, we're making enrollment simpler and more intuitive," said Dr. Fateama Fulmore, Interim Superintendent of NOLA Public Schools. "Detailed progress tracking and flexible updates—most done in just five minutes—means families can apply, tweak, or even cancel their application with ease. We've listened to families, and these upgrades reflect our commitment to a hassle-free, user-friendly experience."
