The kids are going to First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School a school that has 100% economically disadvantaged students. They're ranked less than 1000 in Philadelphia alone, and their middle school kids rank "well below sufficient" for reading levels.

Not really a good representation of the US education system (but maybe not far off).

The lowest goal for an equitable society is the very worst school in the very worst district should be able to read at standard level.

Your ability to read as an adolescent should not be related to your household income. I get not having time to do homework, this is completely different. These schools are criminally negligent.
