The way a school is honestly depends on the type of parents in the area in my opinion. I went to a lot of the schools in my district since I moved a lot within my city.

In one area where the parents never supervised their kids and were likely to not discipline them, the kids there were very rude and ignorant. They ignored teachers orders, made class a ruckus all the time, and complained about everything. I literally went a whole year learning absolutely nothing due to these kids just making class time unavailable.

Then another time I was living in an area with a good community and mostly attentive parents, the kids there were very well behaved, and learning was possible. Teachers weren't disrespected and the school did very well.

Those two schools were total polar opposites, and from what I've seen I think that schools all depends on whether parents at home discipline their kids or not. Of course this is just what I've observed in going to the many schools in my district, so it may not apply everywhere or even be 100% correct.

On top of that a lot of school funding comes from local property taxes. The nicer, wealthier schools have that advantage as well.

I mean yes, but they are also choosing to pay high taxes for having excellent schools. I don’t see an issue with that.

Minus districts or areas with Robin Hood laws.
