    I think that poverty, family life issues, lack of perceived upward mobility, and other factors can contribute to ... poor performance

I'm sure you're right, but the school system itself can only attempt to provide students with the tools they need to understand the world they live in and make creative and informed decisions about what can be done to improve their world. And I really don't think the school system is doing that.
