"... what would happen if your typical big-city school system did." Education science never made it into US K-12 education. We Americans have a very fluffy concept of what education's about. We worry more about socialization than education (Neil Postman was right). For a looooong time there have been US educational research journals with data far ahead of current practice, but many US educators never get much chance to see them. And I've never heard of a US (K-12) school that's doing anything empirical (beyond, oh, statistics anyway).
