Only 7 black students make it in each year to Stuyvessant High School in New York.

Pretty interesting radio segment about that on WNYC here:
http://www.wnyc.org/story/segregation-at-nycs-specialized-high-schools/

(They mention presumed incoming mayor Mamdani, a graduate of the Bronx HS of Science, where I taught, FWIW.)

I like the caller who remembers getting into Brooklyn Tech back when the advice was "You cannot study for this test: just get a good night's sleep and take the test."

They discuss former mayor DiBlasio's plan: allow the top 2% of every middle school to get in to Stuy/BxScience/BrooklynTech. That was predicted to make the incoming mix of kids 40% black + hispanic.
