We are kidding ourselves if we think that Ensley, Alabama should be held to the same standards at this time as Mountain Brook, Alabama. But every year we see in the news which school systems are succeeding and which are failing. We're defining bad schools based on tests that some schools will never pass - at least at this time - and all we're doing is setting them up to fail.
Maybe I'm shortsighted or misinformed, but wouldn't the "bad" school in Ensley then receive federal subsidies and such to "help then improve"... basically incentivizing that school to continue to do poorly or face reduced budget?

They would receive federal funding if they are a Title I school meaning that a high enough percentage of students are on free and reduced lunch.
They actually lose funding if they do not meet federal standards.
