Which theories and historical influences should most impact the schools we'd like to have?

In the past, students have not been up to standard in their education. Schools all over the country are lacking in good instruction. We have implicated better teaching standards, so that teachers must be very qualified to teach. Making sure that teachers are even more qualified in the future will be a great aspect to have in every school.
If schools are going to get more racially and ethnically diverse, so aren't our communities. So shouldn't are teachers be just as diverse? This may not be the best example, but diversity among teachers is rare. Teachers are majorly white and women (I learned this in class.)
If our students aren't learning then we should teach something a different way, if that doesn't work get another teachers opinion. Communication among teachers is key. Without it, we don't know if another teacher is making progress teaching a student that you are having trouble with. Maybe they have figured out a good way to teach that specific student, or come up with a new, good strategy to teach all students.
The community is a big part of any school, without it there is no support at extracurricular activities or concerts. Without parents and others from the community there would be no taxes to support the local school. Incorporating them and making them feel as welcome as possible in the school will make them more supportive.
Question: Is it good to have a lot of schools? Or a few in a concentrated area? Yes, it means more jobs if there are more schools, but what if there are not enough students attending to support it. What if there are so many schools in one area that they can't be supported. But what if a school is overpopulated if all the kids from a certain district go to the same school?
