Schools in poorer districts deal with more problematic students, in greater densities, with fewer resources, and generally lower quality teachers, administrations, and infrastructure than schools in more tony areas. although idk what a tony area is
I have developed a world view perhaps the problem is more complex than just saying the schools are underfunded, which I believe they are but that can be fixed by raising taxes which no one wants to do.however there are poor kids who manage to do very well in poor areas with less than affluent schools and non-poor kids who fail out of more affluent schools
my sister in law works in the Cleveland school systems and knew tamir rice she works with kids who aren't as quick to learn as others she was telling me about the kids that she sees, they come with out supplies, pencils, pens, shoes, without lunches after having nothing for breakfast, some come ready to fight they don't pay attention, talk on the phone during classes all of which im sure leads to generally lower quality teachers & administrations.
