New Orleans' top-ranked high school is running out of space. Franklin has an entrance exam but it doesn't keep a waitlist and has never turned away a student who passed the test. via @nolanews.bsky.social www.nola.com/news/educati...

This has been a problem for awhile. My son graduated from Franklin in 2019. During his junior & senior year they used UNO's education buidiing for some classes & finals.

I remember a friend who taught in the UNO building. She lost a lot of classroom minutes.

I'm not sure why they're having overflow problems at lunch. Students can walk to the UC at UNO or leave campus for lunch as long as parents sign a permission slip. I can't remember if freshman can leave but I know upper grades can. My son & his friends would walk to Burger King, Wendy's, Popeyes.
