Nothing "works." These are antidote.

Look at LeBron James' school and the amount of money that has been poured into it 
The outcome?

The "I Promise" School, established by LeBron James, has seen mixed academic outcomes despite its substantial resources and support services. While the school’s mission is commendable—serving students from challenging backgrounds with additional resources like tutoring, counseling, and extended school days—test results and graduation rates have not fully met expectations.

In 2023, reports showed that only about 8% of seventh-grade students at I Promise were proficient in English, and math proficiency was very low across multiple grades. For example, proficiency rates were 1% in fifth and seventh grades, with no sixth graders meeting the math proficiency standard. This puts the school well below the Ohio state average proficiency rates, which range from approximately 45% to over 60%, depending on grade and subject area.

If the county wants to have impact on underperforming students they should focus on neurodivergent students, instead. Students with adhd, anxiety and autism are dropping out of school at alarming rates. They are also highly likely to be unemployed and economically disadvantaged. The difference is that with much simpler modifications, they excel.
