The U.S. segregates based on house prices.
To the degree that public schools may be funded by local property taxes, some may hold your view. However:
1) state and federal funding formulas work to mitigate this effect in redistributing funds.
2)
students may enroll in public schools outside the district in which they reside.
3)
families may choose to enroll their students in a variety of alternative schools utilizing public funding, such as charter/choice/voucher schools.
4) house prices may fluctuate greatly based on supply/demand, and many neighborhoods contain a mix of residential properties from starter homes to mansions. Both home price and availability may be based strongly on the economy, specifically the availability of local employment.
