How does zoning affect education quality?

Important terms: Inclusionary Zoning and Residential Segregation

Education is often regarded as a primary means of social mobility in the United States. This
disregards that some children have opportunities to top schools, while others do not have this
advantage.
The opportunity to attend high-achieving schools depends on what kind of neighborhood a
family lives in.
By integrating low-income housing into wealthy areas, it can improve children of low-incomes
opportunities for economic mobility and help stop future poverty by providing them with a
higher-achieving school.
