Answer 2

There are some excellent private and public schools in the United States. There are also some very poor public schools, which are often but not always in very poor neighborhoods. I don't have statistics, but I'm under the impression the really awful schools are not as common as good schools. Really excellent schools are also not as common as "just good" schools.

The average-to-above-average public school in the U.S. is a decent school with emphasis on trying to get kids into college upon graduation. There are many kids who don't end up attending college, though, but schools often can often vocational training to students not planning to attend college.

Schools with fewer students tend to seem like better schools than large city schools with hundreds of kids.

People in very poor neighborhoods often don't get their children prepared enough for school, so the children get off to a bad start. The teachers find it a challenge to teach children who don't get prepared for school at home or who have parents who don't provide an environment that makes a child motivated. This is partly why schools in poorer neighborhoods may not be as good. Teachers have to spend a lot of time on the high number of kids who don't do well, and the kids who would have done well don't get as much attention.

Generally, if people live in a middle-class town with middle-class values the neighborhood schools are good to very good. They don't do as well for exceptional students much of the time, and there are some things they need to understand better about motivating children - but they're good to very good for the most part.

People who live in higher-income suburbs may have particularly excellent public schools, although sometimes it could potentially be a matter of a school's appearing to be better just because they have air conditioning, the best computers, and rugs.

There are many children who are "lost" in the schools (don't reach their potential), but that may be the result of a general lack of understanding of certain things about students rather than schools not offering a good curricula.

Schools often have a mix of very excellent and motivated students, above average but not super-excellent students, average students, below average students, and students who fail miserably academically. I was once told by a school principle of a suburban school that about 1 out of 10 students "acts up", and about 9 out of 10 are well behaved and not a problem. These numbers would be different in different types of schools, I assume.

Most schools tend to have pleasant atmospheres. They're often made of brick on the outside, have a school cafeteria, a library, a computer or media room, an auditorium, and a gymnasium. Elementary schools don't always have an auditorium. They may have something like a stage at one end of a cafeteria, and if there are events scheduled they use that and have people sit in the cafeteria. Students who are older than elementary school have lockers to keep their stuff in. There are school yards outside elementary school, and the children play outside around lunch time.

Children go on field trips from time to time. The schools have things like bake sales, dances, athletic events, science fairs, and other demonstration of what students have learned. High schools have different activities and clubs that students can participate in. Schools tend to have a school nurse if the students feel ill. Students have any number of subjects in school. Math, English, History, Science (of one type of another), Social Studies (for younger students), Foreign Languages, and Art are among some courses. There are computer-related courses, health education, physical education, and miscellaneous courses such as sewing, business courses, cooking and others.

Some schools have after-school programs, so the children can stay for a few hours if their parents work.

In elementary schools there is artwork hanging on bulletin boards or on the walls in the classrooms or halls. Kindergarten classes may be separate from all the older students, and they have art supplies and sinks and their own little restrooms and places to hang coats and hats.

There is a school committee/department for each town, and they decide what policies are for all the public schools in their town. Private schools make their own policies. Parents (mothers usually) often go and volunteer their time to help do things at the schools. There are also often teachers aides who help with some tasks in the classroom.

On average, the atmosphere in U.S. schools is pretty pleasant. Some schools are more "luxurious" than others, and some (as I said before about poorer neighborhoods) have trouble getting the books brought back from students houses and have other problems with supplies and the appearance of the building.

I haven't included everything here, but maybe this will give you some idea about the schools.
