You lose your bet. Please think carefully about your assumptions.

Here are the 4 schools with 40% or more FARMS (see http://www.uft.org/news/6-new-york-city-schools-designated-2013-national-blue-ribbon-schools ):

PS 46, the Alley Pond School, District 26, Queens. In 2010-2011, 98% FARMS, 52% black, 45% Latino, 1% Asian:  https://reportcards.nysed.gov/files/2010-11/AOR-2011-310500010046.pdf

(Yes, one of the four schools has a high percentage of Asians; that is "school", not "schools".)
