This is fairly accurate, but it depends on the zip code. It's often the worst in blue states/cities (e.g. Denver, CO) where wealthy NIMBYs carve out special school districts with massive tax bases, surrounded by urban squalor. The disparity is egregious. The kids who need the most resources have the least, and unfortunately, overwhelmed systems are breeding grounds for administrative corruption and grift. This becomes a positive feedback loop, where admin increasingly captures resources that are urgently needed to fix the underlying problems.
