Correlation vs causation. I'd assert that it's much more the "urban vs rural" difference that accounts for the income disparity, with the network effects of cities providing more economic benefit. This economic advantage existed long before our public school system. You'd have to have provide pretty powerful evidence to demonstrate that the quality of public schools in the cities is responsible for the economic benefits of cities. For example, on this list, New York has only average quality schools, and California is well below average. https://www.forbes.com/sites/reneemorad/2018/07/31/states-with-the-best-public-school-systems/#3c65f50e3897 https://www.forbes.com/sites/reneemorad/2018/07/31/states-wi...
