There are many problems with all of the efforts at school "privatization" and other idiotic "reforms" being peddled by people with mendacious motives. They take impoverished schools and school districts with high numbers of students from impoverished homes and use them as guinea pigs instead of attacking the problem with poverty.
Test scores, which don't mean anything anyway, won't ever be high because many of these students live in transient households that are not conducive to student learning. That won't stop the privatizers.
In the end, ALL public schools will be privatized because the "reformers" aren't about helping students achieve. It's about dismantling ALL public institutions because they are public.
