You are correct - the people in the school are what make it &quot;good&quot; or &quot;better than&quot; other schools. Exchanging entire bodies of students would not improve performance. But it is a FACT that mixing up the SES of students in the school does improve performance. This makes a given school where that is done better.
 
But all of this is a digression because you did not answer the question, which is:
 
---&gt;[i]Are people who pay more in taxes entitled to a better public-school education for their children than people who pay less in taxes? [/i]

Other questions you did not answer:

---&gt;[i]What else are they entitled to? Better roads? Better fire and ambulance service? Jumping to the head of the line for in-demand books at the public library?[/i]

No. They are not entitled to and county does not distribute resources based on the tax collection amount as far as I know of. I didn't answer those questions because they are irrelevant to education. as I said, resource-wise, the "worse" schools doesn't get any less than the "better" schools from the county. The families of "better" schools might provide more, but those are not public fund, and should not be re-distributed county-wise.
