[quote=Anonymous]Don't mean to hijack the thread, but NYC's experience with merit-based ps admissions is not limited to Stuyvesant HS. There are a number of specialzed public schools that address specific talents and interests. NYC's demographics as a whole, again, 33% white, 29% Latino, 25% AA and 13% Asian. The City's HS of Art and Design, for example, practices selective admissions, based upon academic performance and artistic talent, the latter being subjective, obviously. A&D's demographics are 12% white, 52% Latino, 28% AA and 9% Asian. 63% are FARMS students. Among NY's performance measures is a school's "Stability Rate," a measure of how many enrolled at each grade level were enrolled the previous year. A&D's stability rate is 96%. 90% of A&D's graduates go to college. Looks pretty good to me.[/quote]
