Another reason for this is that many inner-city kids tend to have jobs after school to help support the family, so that really cuts into study time.
But, I do see what you are saying. I think that if a child comes from a home that vaules education, no matter the financial status of that home, then whether they are from the inner-city or not should not matter if the child wants to be successful in school.
