However, the data also reveals significant disparities in school performance and resources within the same zip code. While the charter schools generally outperform the traditional public schools, the latter, such as PS 197 John B Russwurm and PS 133 Fred R Moore, lag behind in areas like test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. This highlights the importance of school choice and the need for equitable funding and support for all schools in the community, regardless of their governance model.
