You're a douche. I don't know how else to say it. Glad you are not in Louisiana any longer. No room for wannabe elitist douches in this state. Im sure you just had no friends in LA and your family thinks you are the worst so you had no choice but to leave. If you acted anything like you do on the internet, Im sure you got beat up often. Hopefully the other "hippies" in CO are treating you nicer.

The high school I went to in Houston has very similar numbers to McKinney Boyd. If I went to public school in Louisiana, it would have been Ehret. The public school I went to when we moved to Houston had these numbers:
I get why you chose it now. I graduated from West Jeff. If in current situation, more than likely would of either gone to Plano or Frisco HS.

time to end this stupid as discussion.
TX = high property taxes
LA = state income tax
they cancel each other out. then in Louisiana you have to pay for private school.
IF you are fine with sending your kids to public than you will save money in Texas.
I still laugh at the suggestion that public can be as good as private. I went to ALAMO HEIGHTS. better than any public school in Louisiana I'd bet. probably better than most privates. better than 95% of schools in Texas. pretty much a step down from Highland Park which is up there with the best public schools in the country.
and even the riff raff don't stay out of there. every public school will be complete shite in 15 years, if they arent already. nowhere is safe.

I know NOLA public schools blow. O don't think anyone in this thread was comparing the two, Nola vs McKinley.

IF you'r kid is a good student, they'll be one anywhere. If they're average, they'll be average everywhere.

Mathematically, that's not true.
It's only true if you compare a high earner in LA (>$150k) to a low end house ($250k) in an average tax rate area in TX.

The Robin Hood plan was a media nickname given to legislation enacted by the U.S. state of Texas in 1993 to provide court-mandated equitable school financing for all school districts in the state, in response to the Texas Supreme Court's ruling in Edgewood Independent School District v. Kirby. The law "recaptured" property tax revenue from property-wealthy school districts and distributed those in property-poor districts, in an effort to equalize the financing of all school districts throughout Texas.
good luck, Texas public schools.

Now the countless threads saying Louisiana is the best place to live, has more culture than New York, has better food than New York, Paris or L.A. has absolutely been said on this board.

what do you think the gap is?

Graduate from U of Tex with my BSEE. Good thing I don't get paid for my superb English skills.

It depends on many factors. You can make them equal, you can make LA cheaper if you want to, and you can Make TX cheaper too.
For someone with no kids, LA is definitely cheaper. If you have 5 kids, go to TX

Then you are misinformed. I'll put Highland Park public school against any private school in Texas or Louisiana.

Ok, so what do you do now? Where did you go to college? Did you graduate (assuming your name is just for fun)? Post graduate? Job?

I have a masters degree and my grammar and spelling suck. Computers and spell check ruined me.

So you're shitting on public schools because you're a failure?

you've probably heard of us, we made national news about 7 years ago for chanting "USA!" during a basketball game.
