We often hear data about how American students are performing in science, math, or reading. For instance, in 2015, the United States ranked 24th in reading, 25th in science, and 40th in math according to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Hearing education statistics like these, coupled with bullying statistics and other concerns, it’s no wonder many parents want to study a school inside and out before agreeing to send their child there. School choice is a decision that can have a profound impact on a child’s life.
Most parents simply want to find a safe and comfortable place where their children can develop strong scholastic abilities and social skills. When all is said and done, the goal for most families is to do the best they can to prepare their children for life outside of the nest.
The problem, though, is not all schools are created equally — not by a long shot. Schools have various levels of funding, professionalism, and skill levels among staff, as well as various types of community members. Because of this, some parents decide to go with the home school, magnet school, charter school, or private school options.
For those who choose private schools, they end up shelling out major cash for an option that may or may not be a better choice. And of course, no school is perfect. There are about 33,600 private schools in the U.S. that enrolled nearly 5.2 million students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics’ most recent estimates. But a majority of American students — about 50.4 million pupils — will go to one of the 98,300 public schools in the country.
Neighborhood Scout, a website that collects and analyzes data on U.S. neighborhoods and cities, determined the best and worst public schools in the United States. These Neighborhood Scout lists are based on students’ test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress and No Child Left Behind. We list the rankings from that site but then did some more digging to find those schools’ performance data compared to their home states. Here are the 20 worst schools in the nation.
Keep in mind that several factors, such as safety, dropout rates, college admission rates, and even location, can come into play when determining which schools are the “best” and “worst.” So while these lists do evaluate schools based on students’ academics, they do not account for every single factor that makes a school a quality
Poster Comment:
ALL of these schools are in predominately minority Dim neighborhoods in cities controlled by Democrats. Looks to me like the Dims have a plan on place to keep the next generation of Dim voters living on the Dim Plantation because you can bet the bank on one thing,if ANY of these children ever move out of those neighborhoods to anywhere but rehab or prison,it will due to mandatory AA hiring policies.

If you think the answer is having Betsy Devos impose some kind of Evangelical Creationism and Environmental Pollution denial on them, then you're off your rocker, pete.

that lay within me like a Merle Haggard song at a French restaurant. [...]
"I could not tell the girl about the woman of the tollway, of her milk white BMW and her Jordache smile.
There had been a fight. I had punched her boyfriend, who fought the mechanical bulls.
Everyone told him, "You ride the bull, senor. You do not fight it."
But he was lean and tough like a bad rib-eye and he fought the bull. And then he fought me.
And when we finished there were no winners, just men doing what men must do. [...]
"Stop the car," the girl said. There was a look of terrible sadness in her eyes.
She knew about the woman of the tollway. I knew not how. I started to speak,
but she raised an arm and spoke with a quiet and peace I will never forget.
"I do not ask for whom's the tollway belle," she said, "the tollway belle's for thee."
The next morning our youth was a memory, and our happiness was a lie.
"Life is like a bad margarita with good tequila, I thought as I poured whiskey onto my granola and faced a new day.

(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells")
Ring Dem bells, you heathens with yer Big Guv'ment schemes...
Ring Dem bells from yer sanctuaries where Vile Lib'rals preach!!
"Re-Impeach!!" Mudboy cried...
"We've got Truth on OUR side...
"And Clinton's Power's fractured...Sweet Justice be Thine!!"
Ring Dem bells, good FReepers, let yer OUTRAGE show!!
Ring Dem bells...make yer righteous stand, so John Ashcroft will know!!
Folks, it's Rush Hour now...
Help us FReep 'gainst the Power!!
Lord, the sun is goin' down upon Left's sacred cows!!
Ring Dem bells, Sweet Justice, tell yer Congressman...
Ring Dem bells so the World will know Gary Winnick's SCUM!!
Folks, the Networks are asleep...
But their Power's weak...
And the Country's still filled with lost sheep.
Ring Dem bells...fer Left's Blind Ignorance!!
Ring Dem bells for those morally-bereft!
Ring Dem bells for Left's chosen few...
Who would judge the many...
Yet say, "Slick is KEWL!!"
Ring Dem bells for the Chi-Com SPIES...
For the kids that died...
When innocents FRIED!!
Ring Dem bells, brave Patriots, shan't let Tyranny bloom!!
Ring Dem bells for our Sailors whom Slick Willie entombed!!
List of crimes is long...
But Bold FReepers are strong...
And we're breakin' down resistance to Rightin' Wrongs!!
Mudboy Slim
BTW...Folks, it's time we demonstrated the Power of FReepin' to those who would deprive us of Justice and Liberty!!
"Terry McAuliffe, outspoken proponent of Campaign Finance Reform and Chairman of the DNC,
has committed multiple FELONIES to get to his position of prominence in the DemocRATic Party,
yet no O.N.E. seems willing to hold this CORRUPT, MARXist PUNK accountable!!"
As Bill Clinton's Chief Fundraiser in the '96 Presidential elections, McAuliffe was the mastermind behind the Union/DemocRAT scheme to bilk hard- working blue-collar workers out of Millions of Dollars
of Pension Funds so as to provide Bill Clinton with the cash to retain his position of Power, and no INDICTMENT has been forthcoming.
Elle Bee tells me there is a 5-year Statute of Limitations--expiring this Fall- -on this Crime, and George Bush's Attorney General,
John Ashcroft, has not said one word about holding the DNC Chairman accountable for his crimes!!
THIS INJUSTICE SHALL NOT STAND!!
A small contingent of Justice-loving FReepers have--for almost two years--been promoting a series of threads exposing McAuliffe's long criminal history, but now it's time to take the Truth beyond FreeRepublic!!
Please assist our efforts with your emails, phone calls, and snail mails to those who need to expose this lowlife SCUM for all the World to see!!
Thanks for your help in Ringin' the Bells of Justice!!

Hell, I don't know and really don't care what ancient, superstious philosophies you profess... So if you flap your yap about public schools like just another born-again bigot, then that's what I'm gonna assume what you are, regardless of whether you actually are or not...
I don't have time to keep track of who believes what, anymore... it just gets all meshed together in one festering, Trumped-up cesspit..
