I attended public schools that had similar initiatives, and from my prospective, it was an utter failure. Forced economic integration at schools only highlights cultural differences earlier in life for kids. The rich kids get a first hand look at the endless cycle of poverty, and the poor kids realize they will never become rich because their parents have zero resources and in many cases, don't give a damn about their kids education.

The overall quality of education definitely goes down as teachers adjust expectations after having to deal with nightmare classes for 1/3 of every day. Students are given B's for showing up and not being disruptive, and A's are awarded for doing ANY work.
