No one is being expelled, or otherwise forced to flee a neighborhood because higher income people moved in, they are being excluded from continuing to move in due to lack of affordable options caused by exclusionary zoning policy.
Again there is a big difference in the implications between being displaced and being excluded. You should demand a refund from your school.
