ReNEW Schools


ReNEW Schools is a charter school management organization in New Orleans, United States. Its headquarters are in the Batiste Cultural Arts Academy school facility, in the former Live Oak Elementary School in the Irish Channel neighborhood. ReNEW is a charter management organization that specializes in acquiring low performing schools.
Around 2009 Live Oak Elementary School was performing so poorly that Paul Vallas, the head of the Recovery School District, gave the school to the ReNEW.
In 2019, the ReNEW staff announced to their staff via e-mail that they would be closing both McDonough City Park Academy and ReNEW Cultural Arts Academy. It is anticipated that Firstline Schools, a competing charter group, will be granted a charter for a school at the Cultural Arts Academy location.
