The OneApp Main Round is now closed.

The OneApp Main Round is now closed. Parents who submitted an application during Main Round will receive notice of school placement in April.

If your child is still in need of a school and you missed the Main Round window or if you are a parent that is new to the system, you may participate in the OneApp Second Round.  The One App Second Round registration period will begin after Main Round placement notifications have been sent out. Please check back regularly for more information on when the Second Round window begins. The resources below will help guide you through the OneApp process and finding the right school for your family.

OneApp is the unified application process for New Orleans Public Schools. Before submitting an application for next school year, we encourage you to research your school choices.

Visit our school profiles:  K-12 schools and Early Childhood school profiles provide information like location, grades served, school performance, and extracurriculars. Use the “Find” filtering tool  to narrow down your options. To filter the school options, click “Find” and select whichever criteria is important to your family in selecting a school.

*These schools have a deadline of January 15, 2021

  • Only list schools that you would prefer more than their current school.
  • If you know you need a new school for next year, we encourage you to list as many choices as possible to increase your chances of receiving a school assignment.
  • Some schools with entrance requirements use the Early Window Deadline, January 15, 2021. These schools are listed here.
  • If you would like to add or remove schools from your child’s application, you can do so in the parent portal, oneapp.force.com If you would like to void your application completely, you must email oneapp@nolapublicschools.com All changes must be made by January 29, 2021.
