New Orleans College Prep

New Orleans College Preparatory Academies or New Orleans College Prep (NOCP) is a charter school operator in New Orleans, Louisiana. It has its headquarters and its original campus in the former Sylvanie Williams Elementary School in Central City. The Cohen building is in Uptown.

The schools are Sylvanie Williams College Prep Elementary School, Crocker College Prep Elementary and Middle School, and Cohen College Prep High School. The latter two are in the former Walter L. Cohen High School building. New Orleans College Prep was expanding one grade per year under an agreement with the alumni association of Cohen. As of October 2012 Cohen, under the Recovery School District, had grades 11 and 12 with 110 students, and New Orleans College Prep had grades 9 and 10.

The organization was established in 2006.

As of 2012, the former Booker T. Washington High School building is abandoned and will be demolished. A new location of New Orleans College Prep will be built on the Booker T. Washington site. The program at Sylvanie Williams will move to the new building. Construction was scheduled to begin in 2012 and be completed in 2014. The estimated cost is between $50 million and $60 million.
