The large city near me is Chicago and the school system there is horrible. It is a crime what the Chicago school system does to kids who are in it. 


Only 55% of kids in Chicago actually graduate. The ones that do graduate, well, lets just say they can't get a good job.


What does that say about urban schools in general? Well, the national average for all schools is 70%. The national average for all urban schools is 60%. Which means that virtually all suburban or rural schools have close to a 100% rate and the urban schools are bringing down the national average.
