The "Divide" in the US is Inner-City Schools and poor Rural Schools. If you look at the rest of America's schools they are among the best in the world.
There's another way to put that: America's well-off suburbs have very good schools, but most of America does not. We need some numbers on the concentration of school-age children into good suburban districts versus "bad" inner-city and rural districts.

THis is as good as I can find:

The issue is defining suburbs. Usually it is Rural vs City (Which includes suburbs)
It might be possible to find a ballpark estimate by the number of poor children.
