The structure of the US education system ensures that all students receive the same quality of education regardless of their socioeconomic status.

The claim is false because the U. S. education system is largely funded by local property taxes, so schools in wealthy neighborhoods get more money and better facilities than schools in poorer areas. Because of this funding gap, teachers can afford more materials, hire more staff, and offer advanced courses in richer districts, while students in low‑income districts often face larger class sizes and outdated textbooks. Even though federal laws try to equalize funding, the actual distribution of resources still varies widely.
