It's not just that—not every Missouri-side Kansas City address goes to KCMO schools. Many don't. Everything north of the river, for example. Source: my wife has been teaching or subbing in the region for years, we have a KCMO address, and we're ~8 miles away from the nearest KCMO school district boundary. Some of the non-KCMO districts serving KCMO addresses are damn good, actually (Platte, for example).
There appears to be some confusion of KCMO the school district with KCMO the city (let alone the metro area).
I noted that elsewhere, and got down voted for it for some reason. There's segregation, yes, but it doesn't work quite the way that's implied, even if we only consider the city proper—I highly doubt a majority of white people in KCMO are sending their kids to private schools. In the KCMO school district, OK, that could be. Maybe I came off as defending the situation, despite calling out that there is indeed segregation? Who knows.
