The less wealthy the neighborhood the more likely private schools do better.
That’s because private schools act as a filter for the families that can afford them. Kids from poorer families are more likely to have an unstable home life, insufficient access to meals outside of school lunches, and other things which are the biggest factors in educational success. The voucher system takes funding from the public schools used by the poorest kids and gives it to the private schools used by families that could already afford to go elsewhere.
Private schools can also arbitrarily accept/reject students which gives them an advantage in outcome metrics.

I tried recovering a bad bluray with aaru, it was able to create a partial dump but I wasn’t able to fully read it. After about a week of churning it was still picking up more sectors but even if it might have gotten it in time I didn’t want to work my drive that hard.
I ended up finding a working copy of that movie at goodwill, but I still have other discs not reading. I decided it isn’t worth going beyond what you described, at some point the disc is just genuinely bad.

No split screen, lan is a ton of fun. Online is entirely server browser, which is fine except that you need to port forward to run a private lobby. I’m hoping this one makes private matches a bit simpler.

There are pc light guns that play fantastically with emulators, but the first HOTD remake still needs a mod to get them barely working so I’m not optimistic here.

Also possible they are putting stuff out early in the hope that public support protects them from the next admin
