In New York, black students make up...
27% of all public high school students

but less than 5% in specialized high schools.

Number of black students admitted to NYC specialized high schools in 2018.

“It is not enough to simply prepare our students to pass a test to get into specialized high schools. Providing them with ongoing academic and social support is equally important to them as they manage the transition into these higher-performing high schools and succeed there.”
