Oh, absolutely, but the reasons aren't important if you're just trying to choose the best school for your kid. It's gonna be the one with the more privileged kids of richer parents, pretty much every time, and the fact of the kids being more privileged, with the attitudes and expectations that go along with that, will have a larger effect on educational (and other) outcomes for your kid than any other (plausibly/realistically-tuned) factor like funding levels (which will incidentally tend to be really good in rich districts, but that's way less important than the kids/families in the district) or teacher quality or anything like that.
