Communities elsewhere are safe, and what you typically find they have in common are strong public school systems, where true integration happens, which brings up the quality of all the kids, that will eventually be then living amongst you in your community.

And what you find in communities that have public school systems that successful are families that make the commitment to be involved in their children's lives and make the communities (including the schools) better. The process does feed on itself, but it cannot successful originate in the schools; the home/family/parenting element has to be there first or any other efforts will almost certainly fail. It's like rehabbing an addict that doesn't want to quit; until that changes, all the money and counseling and facilities in the world are almost guaranteed to fail.
