No. Schools are almost entirely merely a *reflection* of the PARENTS and the STUDENTS. I.e., the school is merely a mirror reflection of the community it is in.

Schools that are located in areas with parental failures are always going to fail as schools.

Schools that are located in areas with strong, interested, caring, successful parents (parent who are successful at parenting) are going to be successful.

If you have an area filled with parents who don't value education, and don't teach their kids to value education, hard work, integrity, etc., the school will fail, even if it were filled with teacher who are brilliant geniuses like snowman. That's because (1) a school is only a place that can present a kid with an OPPORTUNITY to learn (you can't teach a kid who isn't interested in learning), and (2) a school can't and shouldn't be expected to raise kids, i.e., teach them values, etc. That needs to be done by parents.

When you don't like what you see in the mirror, the solution isn't to throw money trying to fix the mirror.
