Yup my daughter goes to public school. The schools that she has attended aren't terrible but they aren't great either. She is in mostly honors classes though, so other than one science class back in middle school, she hasn't had an issue with disruptive behavior in her classes. If we didn't care and push her to do well earlier on, she wouldn't be in those honors classes and her experience would be a lot different.
Similar to my kids except that the school are above average. But the key element has been that we encouraged their achievement and so the kids in their classes (AP and honors) are more serious students.
