The other two high schools, Arthur Hill and Saginaw High are located on two different sides of town known as the west and east side are low performing high schools that are known for their athletics over academics. The locations of the schools are an important factor in the debate of school closing because the city of Saginaw is divided by a bridge into two sides east and west. The east side of Saginaw is known as the urban area of Saginaw were the crime rate of Saginaw is the highest. The high crime rate has also put Saginaw on the list of the most dangerous cities in America. Saginaw High is located on the east side and is surrounded by the roughest crime areas in the city.

The gap between the nation’s best and worst public schools continues to grow. Our country is based on freedom and equality for all, yet in practice and in the spectrum of education this is rarely the case. We do not even have to step further than our own city and its public school system, which many media outlets have labeled “dysfunctional” and “in shambles.” At the same time, Montgomery County, located just northwest of the District in suburban Maryland, stands as one of the top school systems in the country.

Whether these benefits should be kept opened or closed is widely debated in most societies. The condition of such schools is an important issue because it determines the future of its students academically.
