It all depends on what you want for your children. I agree that the quality of education cant be based on the city's problems. There are great schools everywhere.

Sure the city schools...um...suck, but the county is made up of 23 separate school districts of varying quality, mostly high quality and some outstanding. It might not be equitable, but a person can't assume a lack of quality education based on the city's problems. <br/><br/>Looking up a city in a database look SchoolMatters isn't necessarily the best way to find quality schools. It's just one tool. Talking to people who live there is more effective. This comment shows a lack of understanding of the way St. Louis is set up.

Seems like the Broad prize is now about plans (come up with a half-assed plan and a power point and sell it to education wonks and philanthropists and win big prize!) and people (high profile folks like Payzant etc.) not real progress. By the way, Curt Schilling does not believe in evolution. Don't think he'll be sending any kids to the godless public schools.
