School district
Explanation:
Depends on audience of course, but as these are culturally-specific things, with LEA you would have to say something like "School district - equivalent to LEA".

I think "school district" is the closest you'll get to the mythical "international English" clients want, very clear and understandable to all.

Inscription LEA


Explanation:
LEA is the Local Education Authority of a county in England (and Northern Ireland) - each county will have one and they control everything to do with education underneath the government, ranging from primary schools up to universities (controlling student loans etc.)

neutral  katsy: I fear that "inscription" will not mean much to an English reader.

"Académie" of enrolment + please see below


Explanation:
Though Anne's explanation of the "Académie" is totally accurate, and in the UK the LEA would be the nearest equivalent, I would still tend to put Académie in French with the explanation - the local education authority or its American equivalent (which unfortunately I don't know).
It means that the student is enrolled in the Académie of Dijon.
