In Ca it's not most, but enough to matter a great deal. When we were looking to move the house hunting sites offered a breakdown of local schools including $ per student.

We considered moving to a "better" area and paying more for our house except better in this case also meant more white and conservative. While we decided not to do that, we never considered moving to the "worse" areas to have our kids serve as a data point that would perhaps help those schools. Even though we stayed in a relatively diverse area on purpose we still chose within that area based on the specific school our kids would be assigned. Don't really think we desverve more of a pass than sending a kid to a charter school for making our decision this way.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has a kid and opted to place them in an underperforming school when given a choice to speak up here.
