I went to that 3/10 school district. My mother taught in a 1/10 district. Now my kids are going to that 10/10 school district. I have no clue why we are trying to make the lower ranked school district sound better than they are in the name of something vaguely social justice sounding. If you had an ok experience in the lower ranked school, likely you were in honors, like me and my friends were and so were already funneled in to APs and college but the rest of the students were having a different experience. I think at least half my 200+ person class did not go to college. How exactly was diversity helpful to education? Sorry but it is just a nice thing for white folks like myself to say to feel not racist and absolutely meaningless to most students. Most of the lower ranked schools are likely filled with uninterested students, future dropouts and often worse, violence. The rankings mean something, so yeah all my friends were fine but none of us send kids to the same kind of school now and that’s intentional.
