A school of fish would outperform current most public schools.
I used to do homework for public school students. This was 1957 - 1960.
Sadly, as sad as the lack of progress in school reform over the past 30 years.
There is a charter school down the street from my office in Nashua, NH. It is called the Academy of Science and Design.
It is the number one rated public high school in the state. It is even better than some private schools.
You have to pass a test to get in. The tuition is free to any NH resident. However, they only provide busing in the city of Nashua. So, every morning there is a line of cars of people dropping off their child at this school. There are no major sports programs except track. No football/soccer field. No hockey teams. No basketball/field hockey or lacrosse.
There are people that drive an hour or more to drop their kid off. I pass them every morning. I think every Asian family in the state is sending their kids to this school. At least that is the majority of the people I see in the vehicles in the morning waiting to make a U Turn to get into the school.
