Original Research by School Decision on Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter School
Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter School is closed. The school's NCES profile lists its operational status as closed, and recent web research indicates it has been succeeded by a new entity, Kenilworth Science & Technology Academy, which is expanding to offer a high school pathway. Any data about Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter School as a standalone school is therefore historical, and the narrative below reflects that.
This was a public charter school located at 7600 Boone Drive in Baton Rouge. It served a middle school grade band, meaning it was not a school where a reader would look for state testing results or a graduation rate, as those metrics apply to the elementary and high school levels respectively. The school was a regular school in type, not an alternative or special-purpose setting, and it was not a magnet school.
Because the school is closed, there is no enrollment data, no demographic breakdown, no free-or-reduced-price lunch figures, no state assessment results, and no civil rights or discipline data available. The school's charter status was its defining governance feature, placing it within Louisiana's public charter network rather than the local parish school system in East Baton Rouge Parish.
The school was part of a charter management organization called Pelican Educational Foundation. According to publicly reported information, that organization has since opened Kenilworth Science & Technology Academy, which is expanding to include high school grades beginning in the fall of 2026. The new school is described as offering a STEM-focused and computer-science-focused pathway for students through high school. For a family reading this, the relevant takeaway is that Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter School no longer exists as an operating school. Any interest in this name and location would be directed to the new Kenilworth Science & Technology Academy, which is a different entity with a wider grade span and a stated focus on science and technology.
Baton Rouge itself is Louisiana's capital city and a consolidated city-parish. It is home to Louisiana State University and Southern University, and its economy includes state government, petrochemicals, healthcare, and technology. The neighborhood around the Boone Drive address is in a more suburban part of the city, not the downtown core. Housing values in the ZIP code are above the state median, and the rental market is similarly elevated relative to state benchmarks. A family considering this area today would be looking at Baton Rouge's broader housing market, which includes historic neighborhoods near downtown and newer suburban developments further out, rather than evaluating a specific school that is no longer operating.
In short, Kenilworth Science and Technology Charter School is a closed entity. The legacy of its charter and its location now belong to its successor school, which is a high-school-expanding academy under the same foundation. For anyone researching this specific school, there is no current academic or enrollment data to review, and the practical next step is to investigate the new Kenilworth Science & Technology Academy if that name and mission are of interest.
