How come public schools in poorer neighborhoods aren’t as good as public schools in affluent neighborhoods?

With everything going on in our nation (USA) and around the world, this question has come up many times: How come public schools in poorer neighborhoods aren’t as good as public schools in affluent neighborhoods?

Many people have been telling me that some states, like CA, have a general fund for public schools where they collect tax money and distribute it amongst schools evenly. Whether that fund exists or not, how come, for example, LAUSD schools in Crenshaw, CA are worse than schools in more affluent neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

I am having trouble finding articles or even understanding about this. I was hoping someone with more understanding can explain.

Video is about systemic racism but it talks about schools and housing markets too.
