Around the country, there's a concerted effort to eliminate magnet schools for much the same rationale. Wealthy NY folks send their kids to private schools like Dalton, Trinity, Packer, etc... Why not make a system that seeks economic parity rather racial parity, and eliminate the moats around private schools?

How about we just improve the quality of public school education with a large tax on weapon sales?

Better schools and maybe fewer school shootings...maybe. America has never much cared for its children so yeah. shrugs
