We have one of the largest school districts in the country because it is one giant district instead of broken into smaller districts like many midsize cities. But even with 100K students, I cannot name 10 kids who attend public school.
Most of our middle and high schools are just awful, and kids are just moved through the system with little to no education. My hairdresser sent her kids to public schools (and not even in bad areas), and she said they didn’t have assigned textbooks or homework.
We have one well-known magnet high school and those students likely have rigorous classes, but the rest of the high schools are pretty bad.
Our private high school gets kids from about 70 middle schools and our president told my husband the current freshman have the lowest math placement scores in the history of the school.
