Iowa has no large really shitty area's to pull the state average down. You are not comparing apples to apples. In other words, I would wager that the suburban schools of nice charlotte communities have better schools than rural Iowa. Correct. Evanstown has just one high school, but the south and west sides of Evanston are shitholes that should be partitioned off to Chicago. The test scores are completely binary based on where kids live in town. If you take students from the nice part of Evanstown, the ACT scores are the tops in Illinois or tied with New Trier for first bince everyone in those areas is the kid of a biglaw partner, Big 4 partner, I-banker, consultant, doctor, professor, etc. If you take the students from the shit part of Evanstown, the ACT scores are damn near as dreary as they are at the shittiest school in Chicago. Averaged, they look fucking awful. But again, it's the same fucking inputs but if the parents don't give a fuck about how their kids do in school and are living on Section 8 and shit, it pulls the whole god damned number down even though the school is excellent for people who are reasonably intelligent who have parents who push them. The quality of schools depends a lot more on the quality of your neighbors or self-selection than on anything the government can do. Just like how my alma mater Davenport West has lots of achievers, but are being dragged down by the dumbasses from Buffalo, the West End, and Castlewood and adjacent trailer parks. Also, my roommate at Iowa went to New Trier. His old man wasn't in law or finance; he was a diamond merchant. He didn't do laundry once the entire first semester, and literally brought a bag the size of a walrus full of dirty clothes to his parents' at Hanukkah break.
