Oh, that sounds so dismal.
Cincinnati is utterly bifurcated. About 40% upper middle class and super rich persons and about 60% low income blacks (mostly) and Appalachians. All of the white residents of the actual City limits have either fled to suburbs with good school systems or stayed in the City but sent kids to private schools. This is a small city and yet there are at least 5 private schools with endlessly long waiting lists and tuition over $20,000 per year. Some $30,000.
That is how much City residents hate the CPS.
That’s promising (that there is still such a large upper middle class there); that element is absent in many of our cities here. We’ll probably get more NYC refugees soon as the last mayor restructured their high schools to end the merit-based segregation; the working Asians there (not wealthy) won’t sacrifice their children, or their educations, for political correctness. Private schools have a hard time in our cities because anyone who could afford them already left, and the remaining people can’t afford them. Here in NJ private schools struggle even in suburbs because our public school taxes are so high; wealthy areas have some but middle-class suburbs lost them as a similar dynamic occurred: If I could afford a private education on top of my taxes, I’d live in a much better area. My town (pop. 40,000) had six Catholic schools when I was born; decades later they are all closed (but there is still a Catholic population). Failure to implement vouchers/school choice doomed them; parents can’t pay private school tuition on top of the de facto public school tuition via property taxes.
