Yes, but back when California was poorer, it had some of the best schools in the nation. Now that it's richer, the schools are collapsing, so it's really hard to argue that systematic social problems are the root cause.

The only thing that changed is that California got richer, and it just so happens that wealth was evenly distributed.
How convenient.
california spends about ~2.5k more per pupil in low income districts than high income districts.
