the problem with the north end is a aboriginal problem
It is a poverty problem, and poverty just happens to affect a disproportionately large segment of the aboriginal population than the white one. My neighbourhood is just like the North End (same demographics) and I see white people who are in the same boat all the time, living in poverty or on the streets with no ambition.

Until the government gets the balls to properly fund native-run education systems (or let them raise the money to do it themselves) we're going to continue to see a disproportionate number of aboriginal people with poor educations.
