| The Explore Charter School in Brooklyn is 92% Black |
by N.R. Kleinfeld
In the broad resegregation of the nation’s schools that has transpired
over recent decades, New York’s public-school system looms as one of the
most segregated. While the city’s public-school population looks
diverse — 40.3 percent Hispanic, 32 percent black, 14.9 percent white
and 13.7 percent Asian — many of its schools are nothing of the sort.
About 650 of the nearly 1,700 schools in the system have populations
that are 70 percent a single race, a New York Times analysis of schools
data for the 2009-10 school year found; more than half the city’s
schools are at least 90 percent black and Hispanic.
