The format and assembly of the data, presented below, was assembled by John Ruskin on and before October 19th, 1999, using data provided by the Department of Education for the State of Louisiana.

The LA Dept. of Education data is available on-line, in presentation forms: by district or school, and in summary table form.

I have produced some extensive spreadsheets examining the relationships between poverty, school "grades" and district composition and location. If you have any questions about the data, below, or the additional review I made, eMail me.
