NY Elite Tests Favor Asians?
A legal complaint was filed against NY using a single test for admission to Elite Public Schools in NY. The population is for all ages, but it still gives a general idea. In the article on the legal complaint, it does not mention which race is over represented - it is not White. I also don't know that much the location of racial groups in NYC, which may have some impact on admission.
Admissions - I created the table based on the data from the articles below, plus the Racial make up of New York City per Wikipedia.
Stuyvesant offered admission to:
9 black students; 24 Latino students; 177 white students; and 620 students who identify as Asian.
Bronx Science offered admission to:
25 black students - 3%
54 Latino students - 7%
239 white students - 30%
489 Asian students - 60%
3 American Indian/Alaskan Native students
Brooklyn Tech offered admission to:
110 black students; 134 Latino students; 451 white students; 960 Asian students; and 5 American Indian/Alaskan Native students.
