Detroit's predominantly black public schools are close to being the worst in the nation, perhaps with the exception of those of Washington, D.C.

Don't know about Detroit but the DC teachers are some of the highest paid in the nation. I can only imagine what passes for education in those places.

Teachers are paid at the 95th percentile; spending per student at the 93rd percentile; students perform at the 3rd percentile.
