You would think that. Let me tell you a different experience. When my oldest son first attended school in 1966 in Urbana, IL, he (and all other kids in the faculty and student housing area in which we lived) were bused in to attend the M. L. King, Jr. School, north of the tracks, in the Negro section of town. About one-third of the kids were from the neighborhood, and the others from all around the town. About two thirds of the children in the school were children of Ph.D.'s. About half were international. Most of the parents pitched in to help the schools. King School became and remains (I understand) a remarkably successful school. QED. Your theory is junk.
If you trace the decline in school performance to busing, perhaps you should go back to your beloved statistics books and reexamine multicollinearity. You will see with nonexperimental data, that you cannot unequivocally partition variance among intercorrelated variables. You opinion obviously doesn't matter.
