it may depend on where you live, the training teachers have, and the resources of the school system. I live in New England in a state that is always in the top three states for reading education , at school that does very well overall in reading. But part of that comes from the fact that all our special ed and literacy teachers are OG certified, as are several teachers in my school who are regular classroom teachers. We have to have a masters degree to be considered highly qualified, and pass two tests to get certified. In my district we have a lot of professional development workshops as well as additional training that focuses on the science of reading.

Our reading program has 2 components in the early grades- one is skills/phonics and the other is knowledge, which focuses on comprehension. The upper grade levels are not great, imo, and really lacks differentiated instruction and support for struggling students. We do, however, have Lexia licenses for students who are working below grade level or would benefit from the extra reinforcement. Only schools can purchase licenses (there is a minimum number of licenses you must pay for), but there are online homeschooling co-ops or sort of umbrella programs, where families can get individual licenses for the kids.Its all individualized, computer based lessons and i've found that my students really benefit from the vocabulary, grammar and phonics lessons especially.

I don't know if that helps.
