I feel rather confident that public schools in high density America are universally expensive, dilapidated, and crappy. Though to be fair, I only have first hand knowledge of SF, NYC, and Philly. I also have first had experiences with several small town schools in America and while I agree it is a mixed bag, what I can say is that community expectations make or break the school. I have lived in areas where the community had no expectation that their kids attend college and to no surprise, the quality of the school was crap. I currently live in a community that expects all children to go to college and thus the quality of the system is great.
