This paper examines how parents’ school choices have changed over the past 10 years, as the city has undergone rebuilding following Hurricane Katrina. It is the first in a series of studies that will analyze various education topics — especially the roles of school choice, charter schools, accountability, and teachers — and highlight the transformation of education in New Orleans leading up to the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in August.
