Reminds me of how my high school's borders (for which neighborhoods would be assigned to that high school) just so happened to only include affluent (or rural, in my case) areas and excluded less-affluent areas (instead of basing it purely on distance). It was a new school, too (it and the adjoining middle school opened for my 8th grade year), so of course it got all the nice stuff while the kids in poorer neighborhoods had to make do with older stuff in older buildings (and/or portables).
