I'm not going to provide much insight or analysis that the people behind this report aren't able to but...

PISA also shows that in most countries excellence in education is apparent amongst some of the most disadvantaged students and schools. On average across OECD countries, one in ten disadvantaged students was able to score in the top quarter of reading performance in his or her country, indicating that disadvantage is not destiny

This reminds me of deciding what makes a good school good, and what metrics do we measure success on. In the U.S. there's generally an emphasis on raw letter grades and therefore good schools are in mostly (white) affluent neighborhoods. But if you look at schools where students received the most improvement (and therefore also have great teachers) the demographic skew becomes less.

While zipcode ultimately remains the largest factor in success outcomes people need to look beyond raw test scores as to whether a school is doing well for it's community. Particularly if the school's failings are due to lack of funding - especially when the lack of funding is driven by the local taxes of an already poorer community.

Here's an article on the subject
