I guess the simple answer to lifesaver's question is no. I never attended public school after kindergarten so perhaps someone who did is more qualified to answer this.
I went to Catholic school from first through sixth grades. We had math, science, social studies, English language arts, religion, and reading daily and art twice a week. We touched on NYS and NYC history, but not for an entire semester.
In private school one of my social studies teacher spent an entire quarter teaching us about New York City and State government. We had to memorize the names of our elected officials and their jobs. I didn't really learn about the history of New York per se as much as government. It was also a big part of U.S. history.
