In the USA and other multicultural countries, a 'good school district' is basically one populated by middle class White and East Asian families: parents who value education and have received it themselves, and children who will not be disruptive in class.

Czechia doesn't have multiculturalism so it therefore doesn't have this concept.

So that would be all our schools. :) (Czechs and Vietnamese, respectively)

In my experience that seems to depend more on the type of school rather than on location. Gymnasia would be expected to have better-behaved students than vocational schools, even if the students come from the same region. I suspect that has a lot to do with entrance examinations. If you can pass the entrance examination for a Gymnasium, you're much less likely to be someone who had been disruptive in class in the past, and consequently also not likely to be disruptive in class in your new school.

European countries also have good and bad schools, they just don't constrain attendance geographically. Usually you only need good test scores to get into the better schools, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_(school)

It's not about multiculturalism but about social classes.

Do Czechia have social classes? If yes do they live in different neighborhoods?
