It was this way when I went to school in SF in the 80s. The rich white kids would go to the nicer elementary schools or go to private schools. A few would come back for Lowell High School (magnet high school).

Also this phenomena was well known even back then.

Don't forget the effect of rent control.

If your parents live in a rent controlled apartment, then you're probably going to a public school.

If your parents can afford to pay market rents, then they probably can also afford a private school.

Private schools? At least that seems to be the case for the white parents I know in San Francisco.

I found this stat startling: "The average white San Franciscan makes three times more money than the average black resident. "
