Baltimore is one of the highest-funded school systems in the country, but it delivers some of the worst educational outcomes, an education reformer says.
"The reason why we have such continual low performance in education for Baltimore City students is because we have a disconnect between the higher-ups — the administration — and the people who are actually in the classroom," Denisha Allen, founder of Black Minds Matter, a Black student advocacy group, told Fox News. Jon Michael Raasch is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
"Baltimore City Public Schools have been doing really poorly," she continued. "They've been doing really poorly for decades."
