Small percentage of Black students given offers to NYC’s specialized high schools

Black students received 3.5% of offers to NYC's specialized high schools, with Asian students receiving over 50% and white students 23%. Stuyvesant High School and Staten Island Technical High School issued minimal offers to Black students. The admissions process relies on the SHSAT, except for LaGuardia High School, and faces calls for reform due to racial inequities.
