Additionally, nearby public schools, such as Gibbs Magnet Elementary and Carver Steam Magnet Elementary, tend to outperform Estem East Village Elementary in test scores, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that the charter school model may not be the sole factor in student performance, and other school-level factors, such as curriculum, teaching practices, and school resources, may play a significant role.
