With a number like 781 you're going to get some variations on acceptance, along with the fact that it's hard to provide opportunities for folks to excel and test people... and not get acceptance demographics that don't match the community as a whole. >During the last four decades, Black and Hispanic enrollment at these schools has plummeted as Asian representation has soared. The numbers stand out in a public school system in which 42 percent of students are Hispanic, 20 percent are Black, 19 percent are Asian and 16 percent are white. (Three percent of students are multiracial or Native American.) It's not like they're only accepting white people or anything like that ... it seems to be about who can test well to get into the school. Reminds me of my wife's local school district who decided that "too many" black students were being refereed to get special services, physical therapy, extra help in the classroom. They thought it might make them look racist ... so they unofficially discouraged putting "too many" black kids into that system. |
