My suspicion is the only successful model for struggling inner city schools is boarding schools. You have to remove young impressionable minds from their toxic environment. I just don’t see anything like this ever happening, but it’s the only way I can see how you break this cycle.

Thrive Academy on Brightside is like this. The kids go home on Friday and come back Sunday evening. Sleep there Sunday-Thursday. They come from various parts of the area - not just BR.

I don't recall their rating/test scores being all that great, but I believe they have a lot of kids in AP classes and whatnot. It's really not a bad idea, IMO.
