Simple Solution
This is actually a problem that is very simple to solve on an individual basis (put your kids in a private school), but extremely difficult to solve on a societal level.
The easy answer is how you solve it for your own child - put your kids in a private school. The downside is that it costs about the same per child as a decent car payment - this may explain why I have two kids in private school and we do not own a car built in this century.
The almost impossible issue is how to make the schools better serve everyone in society. Having been involved w/ private schools for many years and knowing the relative per student budgets of the private and public schools in this area, it is very clear that more money clearly does not equal better results.
