How would this help students from low income areas or students from all but the most well funded public and private high schools? IMO, it would make things drastically worse. Students really don't get to pick their high school if they're attending public schools, that is based entirely on where you live. Low income families by virtue of being low income cannot afford to live in wealthier areas with better public schools. By the same token, they cannot afford to send their kids to expensive private schools
