> or move to a prosperous community with well funded public schools

To be clear, in most highly advanced democracies, public schools are mostly nationally funded, not locally funded. The US is a rare outlier, where public schools are mostly locally funded. Most people from both sides are surprised to learn about the other: people from US to learn about "the majority" and non-US people to learn about US system. In most places that use national funding for public schools, if you wish to select a school system with better funding, you pay for private school.
