Get the cause and effect right at least:
Tons of single mother households + tons of people who are not fluent in English = poorly performing student body.
Poorly performing student body = poorly performing school = low property values and even low quality housing, neighborhoods, etc. eventually.

That trade off is everywhere in the world.[/quote]
The kids who are not fluent in English learn the language fast and become bilingual. One study in Britain found bilingual kids to be smarter than their monolingual peers.
And poor households are not single parent households, that seems to be an urban legend.
I would say densely populated area = more kids in school, lower property value = less money for schools

[b]Student body is not the determining factor[/b], it matters, but not enough to explain the difference. Just say the inequality of American school system. To label kids as dumb and parents as wayward single moms is offensive[/quote]

That's the dumbest shit I have read today. Look at DCPS the issue why the schools are behind is the student body.

How can the student body not effect the school's test scores or outcome?

No matter how hard you try you can rely on teaching and schools alone.[/quote]

Illiterate teachers supported by the Union were also a HUGE factor.  Rhee wasn't cleaning house for no reason.

Look at Charters and public schools with poor socioeconomic student bodies that defy the odds.[/quote]
