The reason suburban districts have good public schools and urban ones have bad schools is that dividing students into school zones is a legal method of segregation. Cities and districts will intentionally build only expensive single family housing in good school districts to keep the riff raff out.

They can get a commuter waiver because the parents work near the school. since businesses pay the same taxes it actually works out better for students and parents. The best schools have entry requirements that usually stratify by race and class.

In many cases the city school administration did a really bad job of following up information, and the parents have been or will be cleared. In other cases, the parents really did live in Maryland or Virginia. And then there is gaming addresses to get one's kid into the best non-magnet high school (Wilson).
