@hiredbygod @nhannahjones @Sebastian_Holsc @thomaschattwill She doesn't oppose standardized tests, she opposes using a single standardized test for admission to the Specialized High schools.

@ycinnewyork The results in the "best" schools are a result of selection. These results are also a result of selection, most of the strong and average students have been selected out of these schools one way or another leaving a student body that is very weak academically.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@j_brucestewart @cptstiner @HMDatMI What resource are they hoarding? The average spend per student is lower at the specialized high schools than most other schools in the city.

@Ed_Realist @ycinnewyork If they have to go back 20 years to find an example of someone with such skewed scores getting admitted to Stuy it is not really much of a problem.

@Ed_Realist What do you mean by gaming?

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@Ed_Realist @shsatsunset More students apply to the specialized high schools than any other schools in New York

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@NYAmNews The disparity between White/Asian students and Black/Hispanic students shows up in every academic measure, state tests, grades, graduation rates, college readiness, regents, SATs etc. It is not just in the SHSAT results. The SHSAT reveals the problem, it does not cause it.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@Ed_Realist @ycinnewyork More students apply to the SHSs than any other schools in the city and they receive less money per student than other high schools

@shsatsunset @NikHamilton @RossBarkan @SusanBEdelman 150 is a tiny number compared to the total number of NYC students. It is a huge number when compared with the number of Black and Hispanic students who get in to Stuyvesant.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@ycinnewyork @QnsBPRichards If there are students who could handle an SHS education but currently can't get in because there are only 5,000 seats per year then the solution is to create more SHSs, increase the size of the 5 smaller SHSa or introduce SHS like programs in existing high schools

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@neetu_arnold NYC could create new schools or programs with whatever admission criteria they want. If they did it would be easy to determine if the SHSAT or some other system was better.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@DrKYSR The specialized high schools get less money per student than most other high schools.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@nycpa "Reforms to create greater access are overdue."

So you will be creating more Specialized high schools and similar programs?

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@LincolnRestler @shsatsunset @BrandondelPozo Adding an admissions bureaucracy to the 8 SHSs to review 25,000 applications would be a terrible waste of money

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@RossBarkan @LincolnRestler @BrandondelPozo And adding an admissions department to the 8 SHSs to review the 25,000+ applications each year would be ridiculously expensive.

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@LincolnRestler Do you believe that there are students who get in to the SHSs under the current system who don't deserve to be there?

[FewsOrange @FewsOrange]

@ShabazzStuart Once again the terrible job the city does educating black and Hispanic students is illustrated by these results
