Somehow, the number of Black and Latino kids getting into NYC's specialized high schools is DECLINING. Schools will be 9% Black/Latino this year. 8 Black students got into Stuyvesant. Despite Ron Lauder $ for test prep + focus on the issue, the numbers are getting worse.

The numbers, year after year, tell us the same story. Nothing has worked to diversify these schools with the admissions exam in place as is.

Here's a very striking statistic - Black and white students represented the same percentage of test-takers this year, around 18 percent each. 28 percent of white kids who took the test got offers. Less than 4 percent of Black kids did.

Replying to @elizashapiro
You point out the percentage of "test-takers" but not "test scores." Why?
