This was my impression when looking at the data while house hunting. The less exceptional districts weren't necessarily bad, but more reliant on parental involvement. And so the average performance would be lower as more households in those areas were also more reliant on both parents working and not having as much time to focus on their children's educations.

Just my interpretation of the data available to me, would much prefer the experience of the teachers working on the front lines

If you’re interested in data I would look at the District factor groupings. District factor groups are created by looking at the following:

  1. Percent of adults with no high school diploma
  2. Percent of adults with some college education
  3. Occupational status
  4. Unemployment rate
  5. Percent of individuals in poverty
  6. Median family income.

Highest scoring districts are ranked J and lowest are ranked A. Typically J and I districts will have the higher test scores.
