Of course, if advanced learning opportunities continue to dwindle in public schools, you can expect that the parents who care about it will flee for charter, private, and homeschooling. Or at least those who can afford to will flee. The advanced students whose parents can't afford these other opportunities will be the ones who will suffer at a misguided attempt to increase equity. The true result will be largely a leveling-down of these students to their less-advanced peers. The beneficiaries will be wealthier students who will receive advanced education elsewhere, and whose academic achievements will be relatively more stellar than their erstwhile peers.
