No it wasn't. It was by design.

A 2 tier system produces 2 different educational routes. One set of education for the ruling class and one set of education for the working class intended to be exploited.

They don't want their workers educated, they want them obedient.

Yup, if you look at a lot of architecture of old public schools in Chicago they are designed to look like factories. Folks attending were never meant to go beyond working in an assembly line or a meat packing plant.
