Give an inner city black kid the same learning environment as a suburban estate neighbourhood white kid and they'll all qualify for enrollment just fine.
A little bit easier said than done, you're basically asking for economic disparity in America to be eliminated. Just sending kids to magnet schools isn't going to solve the problem when some go home to a tutor and stable environment and others go home to head off for work so they can support their family.
