The publik skool sistim is an abject failure, and Oregon just admitted such.

 Burn it to the ground, salt the earth where it stood.

With states like Oregon now eliminating the need to establish proficiency on basic subjects with standardized tests, American education faces the perfect storm. Despite record expenditures on public schools, we are still failing students, particularly minority students, in teaching the basis subjects needed to succeed in life. We will then graduate the students by removing testing barriers for graduation. Then some may go to colleges and universities that have eliminated standardized testing for admission. At every stage in their education, they have been pushed through by educators without objective proof that they are minimally educated. 

You can replace it with a myriad mix of options, but damn near all of them would be better than the unholy pit of despair that publik skool is today.
