New data released by the Department of Education has shed some light on racial and ethnic disparities. DougWilliamsTV breaks down the numbers.
-- Startling data released by education officials in New York City has shed some light on the persistent racial and ethnic disparities within the city's elite public high schools.
There are eight specialized public high schools, considered the Ivy Leagues of the city, that base their acceptance of students entirely on one standardized test called the Specialized High School Admissions Test .CBS2's Doug Williams asked Amy Zimmer, who covers education in New York for the nonprofit news organization Chalkbeat, whether these schools and their admissions process are the problem.
In a statement to CBS2, a DOE spokesperson says,"We are really proud that across grade levels, more families are getting offers to their top choices."
