Is it true that in the US there is inequality in school education due to schools being partially funded by local property taxes?

I have heard this a lot but I think I also recall hearing that there are subsidies that almost completely alleviate this inequality.   


Thanks.

Only about 8% of the education budget comes from the federal government. This is not enough to offset this effect. It also means that if you live in a state with a low state income-student ratio, there will be less overall funding. It's also worth noting that most federal and state programs are designed to assist only the lowest-performing school districts and bring them up.
