Tacoma, WA, Meth capital of the planet.
The school's test score rating is a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10! (10 being best) That's terrible!

The inner-city school one of my relatives attended is a 6!
Foss HS isn't necessarily in the worst part of Tacoma, but it's maybe only a strong 5-iron fairway shot from the Hilltop district, which is.
