I've actually been thinking this lately. I just assumed they'd send their children to private school or get them into something else. Is that not very true?
As far as rankings go, yeah. True. My elementary schools in Minnesota I went to are rated like a 5. Maybe something drastically changed but they were very good schools with solid teaching. My high school was ranked one of the top public schools in the state. I mean I went to school with multiple people who scored very highly on SAT and ACT, including multiple perfect schools. I had multiple friends going to ivy league or really highly rated colleges like Middlebury, Cal Tech, etc. Most people at the school were kids of doctors or highly paid engineers. Heavy AP classes all around and I know it's still true today. Very good teachers that really set me up for success in college. Yet it's rated a 6...
As far as some areas being less affordable...its probably a good thing to fast track development in other areas whether McKinley Park or Woodlawn or wherever else. Exactly the case here in nyc. Only difference is that it got out of control here. And TUP brought up the state wanting to undo the rent control ban. Remember here in nyc we have rent control and it has slowed absolutely nothing down for new development for years and years.
