Best and worst School system

[Knowledge]

I’m starting to think Breaking Bad was accurate

From my time being stationed in abq, it is. That state is cursed. I had a tire blow out right outside of abq city limits when i finally drove to get outta there. I was literally stuck there for an extra day

My little sister moved down south during her senior year of HS and she said that the kids were like 5 years behind, from the kinda work we have up north.

We don't have funding, it's good ol boy system still.

Now I see why DJ Envy and 90% of NYC Rappers and Producers raise their kids in Jersey

Westchester and Long Island are good but the commute to nyc is a headache compared to Jersey.

Jersey is also truly diverse

I already knew New Jersey would be top 5.

Black folks who leave NJ and say they left for “better schools” is something that I will never understand.


New York number 17. I’ll take take that top 20

I think its cause the good school systems aren't usually where we live.

MD must not be including Baltimore and DC being 49th for safety is hilarious

Doesn’t Jersey have a system where they allow kids from different school districts to join better ones?

Massachusetts, fukk it, all of New England has got its shyt together.

The rest of the US has blueprints for what a successful state looks like

I'm not 100% sure about that. Maybe districts as in districts within cities, but not like different towns. Each town has its own school system, which is part of why taxes are so high here. And while Newark has multiple high schools so you may be able to do that, other cities only have 1 (Elizabeth, Irvington, Plainfield, etc.) The better school systems are in the same counties (Maplewood, Short Hills/Livingston), but I don't think they do inter-city attendance.

Yea, I guess it would depend on what "district" means in this case. I've talked with someone that works in the Irvington schools and she says quite a few times, parents from New York move to cities and don't realize that the schools in that area aren't great. But i will say you can find pretty good private schools. Can also find really hood ones too, lol
