Older NYC high schools generally have elevators, and newer NYC high schools generally have escalators and elevators. I'm not sure why these would be "rowdier" than stairs or other common areas, but they probably add considerable maintenance costs.
Keep in mind that many (most?) of these students live in buildings with elevators, and occassionally escalators, so they might be less of a "novelty".
