  • St. Francis of Assisi School - The building was later leased by the charter school Milestone SABIS Academy. In November 2011 St. Francis of Assisi Church agreed to lease its school building to another charter school, Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans.[10] The Milestone SABIS school leadership learned of the change through the media.[11]

  • St. Monica School - Master P attended this school. In 1999 it had 125 students. That year the archdiocese leadership stated that it was considering closing the school and merging it into Our Lady of Lourdes. Master P sent $250,000 to the school so it could remain in operation.[13] Hurricane Katrina damaged the school and its affiliated church in 2005; by 2011 the archdiocese sold the property for the buildings to be razed.[14]
