Students from families living in neighborhoods within the South Bronx and central Brooklyn were least likely to attend the famed schools, in a similar pattern to last year, the data show.
An analysis of city Education Department data revealed just seven of roughly 19,875 students from Bronx District 7 landed seats in the elite public schools in 2018.
That’s just .035% of students in the South Bronx district — and the smallest percentage of any of the city’s 32 school districts.
The disturbing stats are even more extreme than those posted last year, when Bronx District 9 landed at the bottom of the heap, with .05% of students accepted to the elite schools.
New numbers show just how few minority students get into NYC’s top, specialized high schools
