There are plenty of middle class people left in the city of Milwaukee, on the East Side, and in Bay View, and the Third Ward, and Downtown, beyond. MPS has an 81% student poverty rate, not 90+%[0]. Good students in MPS can access the magnet schools, where, to use my sister as an example, one can complete sufficient IB classes to get a BS and MS within 4 years, leading up to a PhD from MIT. Marquette University HS, the high-end Jesuit school, has tuition of $11,000. And the cost of private school is reflected in the lower home prices and property taxes in the city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee isn't a shining city on a hill, but there's plenty of good living to be had there, and at a very low price compared to many cities. It has more than its share of problems due to un- and underemployment since its industrial fall, but it's nothing like Camden.
