Stand And Deliver Me Dead Poets From My Society

In the movie Stand and Deliver, the students are thriving in a less-than-bustling economy is an almost run down town. The school they're at has a less than stellar teacher board and hardly any (if any) grade scores to show their worth. This is a much different situation compared to the school in Dead Poets Society.
The school here is much more clean, private school, high esteemed, and financially overflowing. The students are expected more of, and take extremely hard strict classes from teachers much more educated than the ones at Garfield high school. These schools are almost polar opposites, minus one aspect, their incredible hero of a teacher.
At Garfield, their teacher Mr. Escalante doesn't look at their economy or financial capabilities as an obstacle. He faces it head on with his students and creates a name for their school in the AP Calculus books. In Dead Poets Society, the kids have a much different position. Most if not all of the students who get into Wheaton(?) are either wealthy or well off in contrast to the homes that Garfield students come from. Their classes are prestigious, professional, and well executed according to educational standards. The kids, however, have immense pressure from professors, parents, and possibly even friends to become something though (whether it be a doctor, lawyer, scientist, etc...).
Both schools face problems, both have a teacher hero in the midst to take the kids to their full potential.
