Are you in part of the majority of the US where the bulk of education funding comes from local taxpayers in the form of property taxes? It’s the combination of that funding mechanism with OE that I view as dangerous. If you’re in one of the parts where the large majority of the costs come from state and federal funds it may work better. For what it’s worth in my province (state-equivalent) we fund schools entirely through income tax at the provincial and federal level so the funding for schools is completely independent of property values. Good neighborhoods still have better schools for complex reasons but those better schools don’t have funding advantages over the worse ones.
