Personal example so N=1. My brother had 3 kids with his girlfriend. They were young parents and cared a lot about getting high and less about a stable job and place to live for their kids. From birth - 5, all kids bounced around to multiple places to live, family, shelters, and various apartments for short stents. When school started, the lazy parents would not wake up in time to get the oldest to school and he almost retook kindergarten. Strangely though, all kids ended up retaking 2nd grade.
At some point, my mom said "enough" and took custody of all 3 kids. They were then in a steady home with meals, sleep, and no basic life worries. While they were in the shytty school district I went to, they all did and continue to do better than if they were to stay in their other living situation.
It is not just a school funding issue as others have mentioned.
