That's why my kids won't be going to public schools in Dallas (elementary is "recognized" and falling, middle and HS are "acceptable" by state ratings). They're also violent, and the local middle school had a kid stabbed to death in the door of the school last spring.
We live within 2-3 miles of most of the major private schools, and they're all damned expensive. We've already started the "mother's day out" affiliated with one of them, to give us a leg up on admissions. I literally don't know any other lawyer in Dallas ISD that has their kids in public school.
I'm a product of an economically/racially diverse public school system, in the DFW area, but it seems like that was a different time. I wouldn't feel safe at all putting my kids in the local public schools.
