"whereas poor test scores are usually followed by school closures, reduced salary negotiations, and state/federal oversight" Not in San Francisco. Whenever SF public schooling comes up in a f2f conversation, I ask people how much they think SFUSD spends per student per year. People's estimates are usually 1/3 to 1/2 of the actual figure: $22k per year. $1.1bn/year for ~50k students. About half of them can read+write at grade level. Same for math.
