Could you imagine being a senior and you're getting ready to graduate and the next thing you know the school you were about to graduate from and all your memories just flooded away. That's what Katrina did to a lot of kids. So what sorts of impacts did Katrina have on the school systems in New Orleans?. Katrina helped the school systems in New Orleans in a way you would've never thought it would. Katrina made New Orleans stronger than it was before it actually helped them in a lot of things especially with the school system.

One way in which Katrina effected the school systems was in a way no one would've expected. Katrina actually made the school systems in New Orleans better. For example before Katrina schools in New Orleans were badly corrupt and kids were under-performing and after Katrina things have gotten better and kids are doing well. Another thing Is their recreation of creating new schools is now they have charter schools and they're helping kids do better. Although Kids were devastated due to the damage Katrina caused kids are making new adjustments and preparing themselves for school and new beginnings. Also thanks to the charter schools a boy named [|Tony] said that after Katrina he felt out of place and now that he settled in a new school the teachers help him more than just telling him to do this and do that kids are actually learning more and doing better.

Although all those things are good all good things come to an end especially with all that has happened. Charter schools aren't all that positive when it comes ton the kids learning and race charter schools are creating [|separate but unequal charter schools]. They are including all of the city's white students and putting them into higher performing schools. And another group including most of the city's Students of color into lower performing groups. Therefore the extreme rapid growth of charter schools has not improved this. Also before Katrina Two-thirds of The city's school In louisiana were rated [|"Academically Unacceptable"]. Now that charter schools are opened the percentage of students attending a low performing school has fallen by half, it went from 64% to 34%.

So what do you think?. I mean New Orleans has recovered big time and well but there are still certain things they need to improve on and be better. Kids were excited to return back to school. But I don't think kids could be to happy to learn or live somewhere where they are segregated all over again. But the people in their community are trying their best to fix everything.

In conclusion Katrina did have a huge effect on the school systems in New Orleans. However those effects weren't bad they had negative effects and positive ones. I know every one expected only negative outcomes out of Katrina but New Orleans didn't let that happen and they're starting anew.
