The only common denominator in the school districts you named are the demographics of the residents.

Terrible administration is the other common denominator, tbh.

The administrators hands are tied by the parents...that's the real problem...to many sue-happy parents who are just looking for an excuse to sue the school districts...so for students to be serviced teachers not only have to educate students these days, they have to teach kids rules, responsibility, structure, empathy. generosity, civics..(things that used to be taught at home, but now aren't)....yada, yada, yada...while educating special needs, handicap, disabled, emotional, behavioral, psychological, and, yes, often dangerous students.....

...and the lack of appropriate resources to meet the needs of the students in these districts...if it takes 10K to educate a kid in a rich district, it takes twice the amount to educate a kid in a poor district because of the issues that go along with dealing with kids living in poverty...

Still, schools aren't just schools where you just learn to read and write these days....schools provide all types of services for the diverse communities that they serve...from parenting and adult education classes to sports, band, ROTC, magnet schools, and technical, computer and trades to Pre-K education...that's a good investment...teach them to fish, right?
