This can't possibly be the reason. Otherwise the bay area would have the best schools in the nation because religion here is borderline illegal.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoWhat is the relationship between proportion of non religious people and quality of schools? There a few factors of bad schools, and along with it a less than ideal group to classmates. Wealth seems to be the primary problem, as it creates unstructured homes and poorly funded schools. Another problem is religious parents who want to teach children that lack of evidence is a good thing. The fact that the latter want to divert taxpayer funds for their own agenda is also a cause for bad schools, as it diverts funds from public schools.
- sliverstorm 9y agoFWIW Bay Area public high schools are ranked some of the best in the nation.
