(New Orleans - March 27, 2026) – Today, NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) released NOLA-PS Common Application Process (NCAP) Main Round placement results for K-12 for the 2026-2027 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 2026-2027 school year, NOLA-PS received 8,441 applications for new placements in grades K-12. 96% of sibling applicants were matched to their sibling's school.
- 96% of Kindergarten and 9th grade applicants seeking a new placement received one, with 94% 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 9th grade were matched to schools they identified as a good fit.
"We're always listening to families and looking for ways to make the application process smoother," said Dr. Fateama Fulmore, Superintendent of NOLA Public Schools. "I'm excited to see 96% of students and families getting one of their top three choices and nearly all eligible siblings placed together. It's truly rewarding. These strong outcomes reflect our ongoing commitment to improving our enrollment system and ensuring families can find the best fit for their child."
