And in Palm Beach County, the schools are CONSOLIDATED so that the kids from the ghetto of west Atlantic Avenue are zoned in with the affluent kids of Boca.

Not a surprise. We lived thru a cluster system in TX in which schools were grouped in clusters of 3. At grade 4 your child was bussed from your neighborhood school and 4th graders from all 3 schools in the cluster went to the same school. Same for 5th and 6th grade. It meant my 3 boys, once one hit 4th grade only ever all went to the same school one year. It also meant that I ended up taking kids all over town (because I didn’t want them to have to ride the bus) every day.
Not something parents would have chosen but the court mandated it.
