Schools typically get money 2 ways, one is from the federal government on a per student basis. So more kids equal more money.

Two is from property taxes. If you are zoned for a school typically your property taxes go to that school. Its why most places make you go to the school you’re zoned for and why you can see a very clear difference between the quality of schools in low income vs high income areas.
