Yeah, but honestly it varies so much by area that it's hard to give guidance. I know a couple of people who went straight to the DA's office out of law school, and a couple who moved over after 1-2 years.
For the suburban/affluent counties, those people finished well but not at the top of their class (top thirdish).
For those I know in the more urban counties, they're mostly minority students who didn't do very well GPA wise but had some advocacy accomplishments.
In sum, I don't think you should deviate from the general rule of going to the very best law school you can make work financially. Additional advice would be to do advocacy and try and make local public sector connections within the respective regions you'd be looking for a job.

Setting the bar pretty high there.
ETA: Let's be real here. I have more than a couple friends that went to Southern and passed the bar their first time. Many are making more money than me. But they aren't ADAs. They are very smart people that took their opportunity and ran with it.
Costs being the same, go to LSU.
