Catholic schools do better because they have smaller class sizes, fewer bureaucratic restrictions and obligations, and (most important) the support of interested, involved parents who believe in education. Give public schools these things, and the results would be similar.
And though it wasn't directed at me, more money is spent in "white" schools. The term is generally used to describe the majority population, not every single student at the school. My high school had 1600 students: 7 of them were Hispanic, and perhaps 20 were black (all but one of the black students were bussed in from inner-city Boston). Would you call that a "mixed-race" school? Or is "white" a reasonable descriptor? And my school was quite well financed.
