Please break down your list of schools to show the % of black population in each of those schools.
I have a feeling you will ignore this request because it would be destructive to the point you were trying to make.
Unfortunately, the site I got the info from does not list the minority breakdown, however, I was responding to a comment that said
quote:.
The higher the minority population, the worse the school does academically
And I expect that both of these schools have a significant black population.
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.
Are you saying that black people are intellectually inferior to other races simply by virtue of their race?
ETA: I did find specific racial data on the site, The Gwinnett School does have over 22% black population. Most of these select science related schools seem to be majority Asian.

So a charter school and a magnet school?

You'd be wrong. TJ is 70% Asian.
quote:
The class of 2019 includes 346 Asian, 102 white, 12 Hispanic and eight black students. A total of 2,841 teens applied, and 493 were granted admission, for an overall acceptance rate of 17 percent. Of the 1,448 Asians who applied — 51 percent of the total seeking admission — 24 percent were accepted. The acceptance rate for black students was 4 percent, while the rate for Hispanic students was 6 percent and white students was 12 percent. Among low-income students, the acceptance rate was 3 percent.
A quote I found interesting.
quote:
Bob Frye, one of the longest serving black members of the Fairfax County School Board, who voted to establish TJ as a magnet school in 1985, said that the administration should take a closer look at the school’s admissions process.
“I have no interest in lowering the standards at TJ,” said Frye, 78, who served as chairman in 1999 and 2000. “I believe even now with the proper amount of preparation and interest the numbers [of black students] could surely be higher than they are now.”
