It is incredibly difficult. One key is dispersing poverty instead of consolidating it. Kids from difficult backgrounds need solid peer models to be successful if they have no one at home to show them the way. Schools have their own cultures and if the culture is antagonistic towards academic success, as my rural high school was, only the most motivated children can succeed.
