I know why.

I know most of the responses will be sarcastic, but I often wonder if it's a chicken or the egg situation in LA.

In most areas, the parents who give a shite AND have the means send their kids to private schools. It essentially takes all of the middle to upper middle class parents who give a shite with them, leaving behind a less than desirable group of parents and students.

However, in parishes where private schooling is well below the state norms, the publisher schools are actually pretty solid, at least for LA. St. Mary Parish is a good example. Are they good because private schools are pretty vacant, or are private schools vacant because the public school options are pretty solid?
