A bit surreal to have NYT reporting on your hometown, but can confirm -- South Bend is not a stereotypical "college town"https://twitter.com/emilymbadger/status/1222939811213926401 …

I hear ppl say, "yeah but Buttigieg went to a fancy prep school". He went to the local Catholic high school. Guys, it wasn't fancy, esp not back then. I think it maybe offered a couple of AP courses?

I moved away jr year, but at my high school, also a public HS in SB, almost 50% of our freshman class had dropped out by the time graduation rolled around. others- the kids who took APs, etc- wound up at Notre Dame, Stanford, Princeton, IU, Purdue. Two worlds.

That sounds like my experience. Really high variance in parental education and income levels -- which came together very unsuccessfully (at least in the mid 90s when Mayor Pete would also have been bopping around) in the city schools.

Not clear if demographics still hold. Didn’t schools become much more segregated?

I don't know. I graduated in the mid 90s. Since then, it's become more choice-based, so probably? The real damage to the schools was/has been white flight to the suburbs, tho, and out of the school district.

My public high school had 1 AP course total. Out of 106 graduates, ~12 went to college. 9 of those in state public schools. Standardized test scores were below inner city Chicago. Student population was 95% white.

I don’t know why this is all relevant other than to say - our simplistic mental models of school problems are probably to simplistic.
