A giant dirty tourist trap

We were relocated to Florida from Michigan and it's just terrible. The schools are the worst of the worst. The education system is a complete failure. We struggled with the public school system for about 6 months then gave up and went private but have to drive 40 minutes to get to a decent school.
There is no culture here and really the entire area is a giant dirty strip mall. The main road is nothing but decaying outdated hotels, flashing lights from cheap t shirt shops and billboards. The weather is hot,humid and 90% of the time unpleasant.
There are no jobs in this city and the majority of the town speaks spanish.
This isn't a place to raise kids or even that a single person would enjoy.
I can't stress enough how poor the schools are, even in the better areas it's all the same.
We live in a better part of town called Celebration but it is smack in the middle of Kissimmee crime. A giant tourist trap. My kids enjoy the theme parks and it is nice to say you live by Disney. But that is about it.
If you want a real quality of life and education for your children, you won't find it here.
