Ironically, commonly the worse public schools are in the inner cities.
It's also often true that these inner cities have huge commercial tax bases, and spend huge amounts on schools. (i.e. Atlanta spends more per pupil than any GA system).
It's also usually true that these school systems have school boards dominated (sometimes completely) by minorities.
These school systems usually have very strong teachers unions.
I wish they would get more results for the money spent.
