As I pointed out in the thread that apparently triggered this one, and as Huju suggested here, comparing public schools in districts like NYC, East Ramapo, and Lakewood to yeshiva students is disingenuous. Many of the public school students in those districts are educationally disadvanteged. For example, they come from single-parent homes, are not native speakers of English, or come from families where education is not a priority. A fairer comparison would be to high-performing suburban districts.
