I went to a "magnet" high school in a poor community. It may not come as a surprise that the stuff in the dual-enrollment college maths (DiffEq etc) were disproportionately from higher-income communities further out. But not all of them! In fact the only MIT admit from our class was a girl from the local neighborhood. She was about as privileged as a polar bear in India. But her talent showed through nonetheless. As the child of an engineer and a dentist, I would have been fine without that program. What about her?
