Most schools in Sumter County are at least 60% low socioeconomic status and still achieve high test scores. So I personally would reserve the nuclear option for many parts of the Northeast as well as some communities in The Villages.(with tongue firmly planted in cheek)
And people wonder why so many outside dislike The Villages.....
I've been to South Sumter High and Bushnell on several occasions. And have been honored to present an outstanding ROTC cadet award to several outstanding students. The school and students are impressive. Bushnell reminds me of some towns I enjoy in Maine. I'm from Maine and grew up in Boston, so please don't nuke them (or anyone else for that matter).
