Sadly political and religious leanings shade both the quality of schools as well as the perception of schools. Have a school district with good curriculum - strong science, math, history. Good health hygiene (ie, sex education) and then ask people in the district who are various degrees of left wing and right wing as well as highly religions and you'll get plenty of "Our school stinks because they teach ... [insert whatever historical or science which the particular group opposes].
Not that I have any big solution - local school district regulations are important. I think there needs to be more regulation and contribution from other sources to balance out the issues.

You just can't emphasis local influence and then still expect to meet national or universal standards. And as long as we try to do both we'll always have that tug of war battle over what matters more.
