Sorry, I see you added more to your original post that I quoted.
I can't speak to anecdotal evidence from a district I don't know, only to national trends. But you often see larger class sizes too, which does cause the issue you pointed too (less relationship building).
We also need a more representative teacher workforce. Students learn better when they have some teachers who look like them (be it sex or ethnicity).
