Who Wins, and Who Loses, in the Proposed Plan for Elite Schools?
Dr. Caceres, the Bronx principal, said that half of his eighth-grade students already take advanced math and science classes, and have the ability and work ethic to thrive in a challenging school like Bronx Science. His students do not do well on the SHSAT, he said, in part because most of their families cannot afford…

Diversify elite schools, for all: Asian-American students have to learn better lessons
As test prep for the SHSAT exam has become more widespread, diversity has plummeted. Schools like Stuyvesant have wound up in highly public cheating scandals. Without greater student-body diversity, schools like Stuyvesant may never be able to curb cheating because it becomes too commonplace; students will continue to do it until they get caught. Students…

To integrate specialized high schools, are gifted programs part of the problem or the solution?
āWeāre working to raise the bar for all kids,ā Carranza said in a statement to Chalkbeat. āWe also have to think about access and barriers to entry, and that includes whether weāre creating unnecessary barriers by tracking students at the age of 4 or 5 years old based on a single test.ā https://chalkbeat.org/posts/ny/2018/07/17/to-integrate-specialized-high-schools-are-gifted-programs-part-of-the-problem-or-the-solution/

Does Admissions Exam for Elite High Schools Measure Up? No One Knows
Many parents and teachers have long contended that the SHSAT is an assessment of studentsā test-taking skills, honed by extensive test preparation, more than their potential to succeed at the specialized schools. Pian Rockfeld, an English teacher at the High School of American Studies at Lehman College in the Bronx, one of the smaller specialized…

Failing The Stuyvesant Test
In bringingĀ its federal complaint against the Specialized High Schools admissions policy, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (to which I am an unpaid advisor) is challenging both the effect of the test in diminishing opportunities for bright black and Latino youth and shining a light on the arbitrary nature of the admissions process. How…

Asian Americans should embrace reform of specialized high school admissions
Not all communitiesĀ view testing in the same light, and aversion to change is natural. Still, SHSAT supporters have yet to persuasively explain away decades of social-science research. Contrary to theĀ beliefĀ that scrapping the SHSAT would lower the quality of students, education experts such as Amy Hsin, associate professor of sociology at CUNY, have argued that grades…

SHSAT History: New York Specialized High School Admission Policies Have Changed Over the Years
AĀ new reform movementĀ was launched in 1996 when a report issued by the community-activist organizationĀ ACORN branded the high-stake one-shot admissions test a form of educational apartheid. They were supported by Schools Chancellor Rudy Crew, but once again the campaign failed because of deeply entrenched political opposition. InĀ 1995 the city opened aĀ Specialized High Schools InstituteĀ (SHSI),Ā city-run preparatory program…

New York City released its study of the SHSAT. Hereās why it wonāt end the admissions debate.
Still, the study doesnāt address key questions about whether the SHSAT is any better at predicting student success than the alternative system de Blasio put forward. And it canāt get at the heart of the debate about the importance of diversifying the elite schools. The study uses data from every single eighth grade student who…

Why I Support Multiple Measures of Admission to New York’s Specialized High Schools
First, I support multiple measures of evaluation for colleges, jobs, sports teams and anything else I can think of, why should I support a single test as the sole standard of admission to specialized high schools. Secondly, at a time when more and more colleges are becoming SAT/ACT Optional, it is in no one’s interest,…

My Feelings about the SHSAT & Specialized Schools
I donāt think the standard mathematics curriculum IN MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSES will prepare a student to successfully get into one of the specialized schools without going to extra math classes (and ELA, probably, but Iām focusing more specifically on the math, because thatās my area of expertise). Now, when I consider the ways in which…
