Mccoy, poor areas have poor schools. You don't see areas that are chock full of wealthy kids with bad public schools, it just doesnt happen. I don't think it will ever be equal, nor should it be. People who settle in nice areas and take on a high tax burden should be rewarded with excellent schools. Why should the same people, often paying a high local tax for education, also take on the burden of kids in inner cities? Once again, it starts at home. The hearts of these students has to change before education can impact their lives. Likewise, the societies they live in have to stop attempting to pull them away from education. Parents are the key to all of this.
