Well, you are taking the Barbe example and extending it across the entire state.
In LC, it might be a racial issue. Statewide, it's much more than a racial issue.
And race is not a detriment to Barbe. It's at its peak right now. In the 1980s, it had trouble attracting black athletes because it was TOO white. Now, it's at about 33 percent black enrollment, enough where, if the black students were to leave and form their own school, it would be a borderline 3A/4A school, so it's a significant enrollment. Of course, it's still about 60-65 percent white, meaning roughly 1,200 white kids.
Right now, Barbe is the perfect school to attract an athlete of any ethnic background.
I can see it getting to the point where white flight kicks in and it's no longer the "in" school for white athletes, but that's not the case now.

the main area where there is an issue of public/private is SELA. the only reason it became an issue is race
LC isn't anything. BR/Nola? prepare your anus
