Is it common for "bad" schools to be in more impoverished neighborhoods and if so is that fair? What do you think?
Coming from New York, I have noticed that many of the schools with "bad" reps tend to be in more impoverished neighborhoods and many of the students simply end up going to the schools in their district unaware of the "better" schools out there because they are so far. Is this fair, do you notice these similar issues in your neighborhoods? Let us know! - Your Friendly DoSomething Intern!

while its not a good thing, it makes sense. the families tax money goes to their school, and if the neighborhood is from a poorer area, the school would get less money. a solution to this is to mix up the kids from different areas, spreading the money around and diversifying the astudents. i believe this was tried in new rochelle and was successful.
I believe it is very common for impoverished neighborhoods to have bad schools. The low-economic standards of these communities struggle to apply the necessities for students to receive a proper education. As a society we must make it an issue to invest more in impoverished communities for the sake of the American dream. Many times has our society ignored these communities. It is time to pay attention to these communities in order for our country to progress.
