As an English teacher I've been in both extremes (very high and low performing schools). The students who're illiterate tend to not care about their grades or academics; if the students do show up to school it's usually to: socialize, sell drugs, or for free lunch.
What strike me as being funny is that the party that promotes personal responsibility is the same party that routinely blames teachers or the education system as a whole for the results of students. 9/10 of my students I've had who're illiterate either don't care or feel entitled. The other 1/10 tend to be immigrants.
