Student Enrollment in Public Schools by Race & Hispanic Origin
Prior
to the 2010-2011 school year, the Louisiana Department of Education
used the following categories to describe race and ethnicity: American
Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic and White. Beginning with the 2010-2011
school year, two additional categories are reported ("Native Hawaiian or
other Pacific Islander" and "More than one race, non-Hispanic"). As a
result, data prior to the 2010-2011 school year is not directly
comparable to data from the 2010-2011 school year and after.
