Summary

Leslie Jacobs, a longtime New Orleans education reformer, joins Newell to discuss education data that shows New Orleans public schools have made major gains since 2005: K-8 schools now rank #1 in Louisiana for academic growth, high schools jumped from next-to-last to mid-pack on state tests, and grads earning TOPS scholarships more than doubled.
