Souls, a journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society, has a special issue on New Orleans schools.
The papers are by and large critical of recent reforms, including school choice. New Orleans Recovery School District has mostly charter schools.

Charter
takeovers are traditional public schools restarted as charter schools. We
develop a grandfathering instrument for takeover attendance that compares
students at schools designated for takeover with a matched sample of students
attending similar schools not yet taken over. Grandfathering estimates from
New Orleans show substantial gains from takeover enrollment. In Boston,
grandfathered students see achievement gains at least as large as the gains
for students assigned charter seats in lotteries. A non-charter Boston
turnaround intervention that had much in common with the takeover strategy
generated gains as large as those seen for takeovers, while other more modest
turnaround interventions yielded smaller effects.
