Exactly.

And when DPS students record the lowest scores ever recorded by the NEAP test, as they did just this past year, it's sickening to see the public jump in to defend the teachers' performance on the grounds that they don't have the same resources as suburban districts.

No one is comparing them to suburban districts. These students can't even compete with the other URBAN school districts around the country that face similar challenges.
