That was a gross oversimplification by me, there are multiple levels of Government school funding. So the issue of U.S. public school funding is more complex than "local" but because local property taxes play a large role in the funding mechanism it works against schools in poor districts.

""Deeply inequitable school funding. Public schools in the United States are among the most inequitably funded of any industrialized nation, with schools and districts experiencing significant funding disparities due in large part to reliance on local property taxes. State funding rarely equalizes disparities. In fact, only 18 states provide at least 10% more funding to high-poverty districts than low-poverty districts, and nearly one third provide less funding to high-poverty school districts than low-poverty districts. On average, school districts serving the highest proportions of students of color receive $2,700 less per student in state and local funding compared to those with the fewest students of color. The federal government provides some support through Title I and other programs to help address these disparities. However, the federal share of K–12 education funding has declined over the past 50 years, falling to 8% as of 2019-20""
