The Rich can carve cities, the Park Cities in Dallas are a classic example, the upper middle class cannot, so any fiat effecting private schooling will screw the upper middle class and middle class, and I am not sure it gives any leg up for poor kids. One reason to move to burbs is exactly this, you are still part of public schooling but the ISD is oh so better because of various factors including stable households(relatively speaking). edit: other factor that lot of people are not discussing is immigration - most immigrants are young and by American standards poor (not necessarily by their native country standards - but American standards), so this infuses into the student body, who are children of immigrants who are starting rebuilding life in a new country.
