The following list does not support your assertion, though these schools are select admission. I think you're ascribing to race or ethnicity what is probably better ascribed to relative wealth, family dynamics and cultural influence.

School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas Texas #1 ranked high school in the nation 60% Minority Enrollment

BASIS Scottsdale in Scottsdale Arizona #2 ranked high school in the nation 50% Minority Enrollment

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, VA #3 ranked high school in the nation 65% minority enrollment.

Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology in Lawrenceville, GA 78% minority enrollment.
