DREAM FACTORIES - SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK CITY
CLIENT: PACIFIC LEGAL FOUNDATION
New York City's Specialized High Schools are among the best in the world. They've produced 14 Nobel Prize winners - more than many countries. The schools are free, and open to anyone who can pass a rigorous admissions test.
Meanwhile, the city’s regular public schools are in bad shape: grade inflation scandals, cheating, low attendance, low proficiency on statewide tests. To distract from failing public schools, the de Blasio administration set its sights on the Specialized High Schools, implying that too many Asian students attend, thus preventing Black and Hispanics from getting in.
