So according to you, it's due to demographics, where people are actually becoming more affluent! That does seem rather hopeful for the future. Thank you for taking the time to explain. Are you predicting that schools will have a rough time for the next generation or so, until the current generation (or the one after) become parents themselves?

Yes and no. Immigrants are constantly coming in, and cities like Boston will probably continue to be a first waypoint for immigrants getting their legs under them. So in that sense, school districts in cities will continue to face these disparities. Apart from that, even as the Black middle class grows, there is persistent multi-generational poverty among Black people in urban areas that has proven nearly impossible to improve. Schools will continue to deal with that as well.
