Florida (where I moved to in High School) pretty much sprinkles the kids from the ghetto at high schools througout the county, meaning you can't exactly flee to another school district unless its in Georgia. The concept of "local schools" is foreign down there. If your kids are in a Florida public school, you better push them into the honors program, otherwise its English 101 with the Bloods and Crips.
Of course they abolished the honors programs in Maplewood/South Orange, as it turned out that those classes were overwhelmingly white, while the regular track kids were black. After abolition, Maplewood's schools lost nearly all of its white students and the black kids who's parents pushed them into the honors program.
