The proof is in he pudding. They compared kids who just met the bar to attend the elite public high schools in Boston and New York and the ones that just missed the bar and were forced to attend "inner city public school." There was no difference in SAT score, college attendance, selectivity of colleges they attended.

I'd be interested to see what they meant by "inner city public schools". There are plenty of large, decent public schools in NYC full of children of striving immigrants from working class to middle class backgrounds. The kids who did just bad enough to not make it into Brooklyn tech were probably Chinese kids from places like Sheepshead Bay where public schools are mostly Chinese Russian etc. This is not what most people think of as an "inner city public high school ".
This says nothing about the experience of those at the top of the order, or even at the middle of the order, in selective schools. Which is also interesting, and should not be ignored.
