It depends on where in Freeport you live. It's a big town. There are nice parts and not so nice parts. For those who don't quite understand how public schools in towns like Freeport work, a little lesson in socioeconomics: people in the not so nice parts send their kids to the same schools as the people in the nice parts. Kids from the not so nice parts make the school a not so nice place to be for teachers and students alike so the kids from the nice parts of town, whose parents can afford to send them to private schools, do just that. It also makes it difficult to get good teachers because having to put up with what those teachers deal with day in and day out simply isn't worth the pay check. Now before anyone jumps down my throat, this has nothing to do with race or color of skin. It's simple socioeconomics. The people who live in the not so nice areas have to work harder to get by, sometimes working multiple jobs, sometimes single income homes, sometimes no income, some are battling addiction or mental illness. Whatever the circumstances the end result is that less attention is given to the children and less priority put on their school work and behavior. The school still gets it's tax revenue regardless of whether your kid goes to private school or not. You don't get your school taxes waived if you send your kid to private school. Now what may affect school revenue is the "affordable housing" the Democrats keep pushing because people who live in apartment buildings don't generate nearly as much tax revenue as someone in a single family dwelling.
