Out of Kentucky, there are a dew districts where scores aren't much better. If 9% of your students are only what the feds define as proficient, then you aren't giving them a basic education.
If I'm reading your article correctly; it's kind of going against what you are suggesting; as it indicates funding is not the issue:
"Only 4 percent of Detroit public school eighth graders are proficient or better in math and only 7 percent in reading. This is despite the fact that in the 2011-2012 school year—the latest for which the Department of Education has reported the financial data—the Detroit public schools had “total expenditures” of $18,361 per student and “current expenditures” of $13,330 per student."
