I don't think it's true. I've lived in different cities in America and have seen plenty of retail in the middle of residential neighborhoods. There are even multi-unit residential buildings with retail on the first floor so the retail shares the very same building with residents. Same is for schools (unless you meant big universities), they are located in the residential neighborhoods to serve residents.

Urban cores predate the invention and widespread use of Euclidean zoning (and of cars). They are generally “grandfathered in” mixed-use zoning, even more so as they were basically abandoned during the post-war white flight, for which exclusionary zoning was a feature.
