I don't think "funding" has much to do with it.
Again, the school is just a reflection of the community.
I went to a variety of public primary schools in So. Cal. in the 70s and 80s. Some of the lower end area schools in LA, to some of the highest rated public K-12 schools in Orange County (if you know those schools, you know how extremely successful they are).
The buildings looked pretty much the same, the teachers made roughly the same money, the books were the same, etc. I.e., there was no significant difference in "funding." The only real difference was the parents and the students.
Money, fancy books, computers, etc. are not what makes successful students.
