This study is interesting because of the racial effects observed. The coefficients for income differ significantly for black and white students at lower incomes. As you move up the income scale, the income coefficients converge for the two racial groups.

Perhaps parental money helps work around effects of racial discrimination (including greater neglect of K-12 schools with poor black students versus those with poor white students – e.g. https://edbuild.org/content/23-billion ).
