>Thirteen Baltimore City high schools don't have a single student who has achieved grade-level proficiency in math. A recent news headline.

The system is failing those students in such complete ways that I can't see any way in which homeschooling could be worse than that. Those kids could probably learn better math by sleeping with a textbook under their pillow and relying on osmosis.
