Really?
So you're talking numbers in the 100's. Yeah, that's a real exodus. And where are they moving? Are they fleeing the state, or just moving a parish over so their kids won't get stabbed in an EBR public school?

The following migrations occurred in 2012 in Baton Rouge:
• lost 333 people with a graduate or professional degree
• lost 85 people with a bachelor's degree
• gained 177 people with some college
• gained 152 people with high school degree or equivalence
• gained 749 people with less than a high school graduate degree

Yes, it's hundreds, but they gained nearly 2 1/2 times as many people with graduate degrees as high school dropouts. Rates are what matters, because they may suggest a trend for what will happen in the future.
Especially when the net population increase is 660.

I don't feel like reading the article. Does it say how they got such specific numbers?
