That’s just talking about the constituent students, not the school itself. Being a serious student at a “rotten” school presents unique opportunities. I can elaborate if you want, but don’t want to right now. Same with offerings of APs–reflects the students, not a lack of funding or anything like that. Personally, I went to a high school with a very bad reputation that was known for gang violence. There were great opportunities. There was AP Cal AB but not BC. The teacher said that if there was sufficient demand, the district could easily get a BC teacher in addition to the already-existing AB class. (This was LAUSD). It’s not a matter of a disadvantaged school, it just reflects the students themselves.</p>
