I know of several school districts nearby that contain nothing but relatively new $1mm+ houses and abysmal school ratings. I would believe that there's some kind of complex nonlinear correlation between property values and quality of school, but it is very clearly not an easy "more expensive houses == better schools" calculation.

A fine point, and certainly not limited to any one race. I'm all in favor of helping those with fewer opportunities growing up, and I don't really care what race they are. If they happen to be mostly $RACE, it doesn't matter to me.
Varies from state to state. In CA, only about 25% of K-12 funding comes from property taxes: https://ed100.org/lessons/whopays
