Former President George W. Bush said on Friday that it is time to celebrate the resurgence of New Orleans schools.
Bush spoke at a ceremony at Warren Easton Charter High School.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the state took over almost all the city's schools, which had been widely criticised before Katrina for failing to provide a good quality education.
Now almost all the city's schools are charter schools.
Bush praised the schools' progress, saying that parents have more choices and that teachers and principals have less bureaucracy hindering their work.
