There was a study out not long ago from NYU researches that showed that family wealth might partly explain differences in student's test scores. It was an interesting read and did convey what many already know.

Money does buy a lot of opportunities. Wealthy school districts tend to thrive and produce more graduates than their poorer peers. More money means more resources and tutoring than available to most. It's just how it is in the world.

However, "Education" is not easily summed in just a handful of popular or well-respected institutions. There are many fine colleges and junior colleges available and you'll receive an excellent education no matter where you go.
