IMO, this is another question to which the only correct answer is "it depends." My HS back in the day and my kids' HS more recently faced that challenge and did so successfully. I'm sure there are some otherwise good schools who don't handle it well for one reason or another. You'll have to dive in and figure out how well your public HS is doing with the issue. I'd be optimistic (given your description of the district), but as you say not naive.
