New York and Boston also have school choice systems. Neither have dismal schools across the board.

Yes, but (at least in New York) the school choice system still drives a non-trivial number of families to flee to the suburbs. Parents really value predictability, and the competitive application process doesn't provide that.

I'm not saying it's a bad system, but there's definitely a trade-off there.
