Having done K-12 and higher ed in California, I know their K-12 is garbage. It shouldn't be, but I'd guess California's wealth gap is one of the most severe nationally, so it makes sense there's also a huge gap in the average K-12 experience and higher ed.

Do you think the wealth gap or the gap in education quality is the more significant driver of the other? Or not really possible to determine and they just drive each other in a cycle?

They likely feed into each other quite a bit, but I'd guess the wealth gap isn't exclusively caused by an education gap and the wealth gap drives the imbalance.
