The success traits that put high income earners together gets reenforced with their kids. Move this group (and remove existing students) to a less funded school and they will do better than the kids who got moved to a high funded school. You can't buy parents, social pressures and genes.

Wealthy areas still out fund raise, out tax, and out volunteer poorer areas.

2/3 of your metrics are fully accounted for by disposable income differences, the other by free time difference. Advantages accumulate; you’ve discovered privilege. It’s generational. Good job.
