I think ucbalumnus was replying to this quote. Lower income HS do not get an equivalent education. I know from experience. Attended low income HS. Currently live in an affluent area with top HS. Huge difference. Grit and determination can overcome circumstances but it is much more difficult.
Which is it? Looking for garbage or lower income students don’t get less of an education? Maybe NJ averages are better but averages don’t always tell the entire story.
