Louisiana in the West South Central division
The U.S. Census Bureau groups Louisiana with these states in the West South Central division of the South.
How these figures are built
Both parts. Rates use only the districts that reported both parts of the fraction. A district missing either part is left out of that rate, never counted as zero.
Not published. Not published means the publisher suppressed the figure to protect student privacy, did not report it, or the count is fewer than 10 students. It is never zero.
