I went to private school k-grad with that, and I know a lot of other people that did the same.

Louisiana has some of the worst public schools systems in the country, and this comes from a guy that went k-grad in private schools

If the tops kids are white and wealthier, they are probably getting a better secondary education in the private school system. So that's not shocking, as we know of the disparities that exist in louisianas public schooling system

Yeah, I couldnt afford Catholic high tuition..
i also lost tops, and now work in fast food to help pay for tuition. I know of poor white families then poor black families . ive met rich black families.

Who am I blaming?
Check out the demographics of all of those shitty schools. The public schools in Livingston, St. Tammany, Zachary, etc, are pretty good.

Because Zachary, Livingston, Central and Ascension are nothing but poor people.
