Yes. Inner-city public education could hardly be ranked lower by inner-city residents. According to a Gallup poll on attitudes toward public education, over 30 percent of the residents in the inner city gave the public schools a “D” or failing rating. HEW reports that 42 percent of 17 year-old blacks are functionally illiterate.
