They are a decent amount of those that get accepted there.


And pass the regents.

Fwiw they've made the regents easier so more pass now.

Why is it that Asian students are excelling at rates much higher than black, white, and hispanic students. Why are predominantly black and hispanic schools failing at raising up students who are able to compete with these asain students


You don't know the rates the races are pass/fail. It is purely speculation that you say asians are passing at a higher rate.

I'm sorry Asians value education more than other races (apparently).

I'm sorry that not every woman is 5 10 with supermodel looks.

I'm sorry that every guy is not a world class athlete or musician.

And most of all I'm sorry that I don't have a ten inch wang (other than that old computer in a closet).

Life isn't equal. Life can be tough.

Public school admission in NYC is no joke. For the most part, the zoned schools are reflective of the neighborhood. The open enrollment schools are Fair East Side. The selective enrollment schools are impressive. There is a tremendous amount of effort put into the math/English testing beginning in 3rd grade so students can get into a good middle school then a good high school.

There are a lot of private schools in NYC, but many are $50k-$100k per year. If your kid doesn’t get into a selective school, you move out the city.

Right you are but we may infer a lot from the populations at large in NYC of Asians and blacks and Jews and whites and then at who all got in.

Sf also has competition for the best public school. Asians now rule.
Blacks were never on top.
only 4% of blacks are in the superior category on the standardized test in CA.
Same as Latinos.

Because they and their families have their shite together when it comes to education.

It also matters what school they put as their #1. They might not even want to go to Stuy.

And who else tested that year.

And Jew isn't a race like black, white, asian, hispanic....

I’ve mentioned this in other threads. I was told by a successful Asian doc that kids of the people in his social network spend the summer with a tutor learning the curriculum for the next two school years (plus sports, art, etc).

There's a sandwich shop near me that's owned by an Asian family (Korean I think) and you can go there on any weekday after school is out and you'll find every one of their kids sitting in a booth doing schoolwork from 3:30 until 9 at night. Every single day. It's amazing.

They aren’t playing sports. They are purely studying 24/7 for a test. My sons school is 50% Asain and we rarely see any Asain kids playing any local sports. The Asians in my neighborhood do not interact with anyone. The ones next to me are renters purely for the great school district we live in. I haven’t interacted with them in 2 years. They drive into the garage and close the door, that’s all we see of them. Their kids don’t play in the yard, don’t ride the bus nor are they at the pool in the summertime. It’s actually kind of annoying how little they interact with the community

How many of the 7 were qualified and how many were affirmative action?

Zero based off affirmative action. It’s purely based off a test score

Not around here. Maybe not football or baseball, but swimming and tennis.
