Which is why private schools tend to make sure they have different people of all different kinds of statuses and races. They tend to have diversity scholarships.
Really though it just depends where you live if you live in a good neighberhood? Public schools are just as good as private schools.
If you live in a poorer neighborhood, you are screwed if you don't get your kid into a private school or at least a public/private middleground like a charter schools.
The best teachers usually want to work in the best situations which is why the best teachers end up in richer neighborhood public schools and private schools. (Even though private schools pay less). Being the best teachers they get to choose.
Lots of teachers want nothing to do with the tougher poorer students who on average haven't been as "prepped" for school, don't have home support and are likely to have more trouble makers.
Which creates a vicious cycle which causes an education gap that grows. (Along with other non school related factors.)
