no, they aren't. Sorry, this isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. Every study ever performed on this question indicates that you are the one who is wrong.
> It's the public schools in the rich areas that get to pick their students simply by whether they can afford to live where they do or not.
The existence of selection bias X doesn't preclude the existence of another selection bias Y... why would you think that's the case?
With zoned schools you can have an interest in your childs education and have no way of getting in simply because you can't afford it.
The point is that those who claim that charter schools get to pick the good students and leave the bad ones with the public schools are simply wrong. It's the public schools in the rich areas that get to pick their students simply by whether they can afford to live where they do or not.
