Spreading a tight, ever reducing budget between two schools is not the answer. And it’s not a choice of good vs bad schools - that’s a fantasy.
The answer, if you want actual choice, is to increase funding so there is a real choice - but that’s not happening. And much of the money with the supposedly ‘better’ school is being siphoned off as profit.

Exactly. Why not take the voucher money and put it into the schools that serve the poorest segment of the population?

The whole point of vouchers is to take a form of wealth redistribution (everyone pays for public schools regardless of whether they can afford to go private) and redirect some of the money back to wealthier segments of the population.
