meaning of "ring community" ?
Hi everyone~
I have no idea about the meaning of the phrase "ring community" in the sentence below, which is about Abington School District.
I guess the phrase might be related to some historical backgrounds.
If anybody has some idea about the meaning, please let me konw some.
Thank you in advance!

I think it is not "ring community" but "first ring + community", where "first ring" means that it is within the innermost ring of suburbs, i.e. nearest to the city centre.
