## Resource

Stuyvesant’s latest freshman class reveals a glaring racial imbalance: just three Black students among 777 admits, echoing a decades-long pattern across NYC’s elite specialized schools. While critics blame the SHSAT for entrenching segregation, supporters defend it as a merit-based measure. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Bronx Science alum, now stands by the test—though he’s pivoted from his campaign promise to scrap it—instead pushing for equity through resource investment. Bronx Science itself admitted only 30 Black students out of 726. The full breakdown? 3 Native American, 21 Latino, 39 multiracial, 133 white, and 534 Asian students—with 44 races unreported. Mamdani’s vision? Safer, more rigorous, integrated schools across all boroughs, ensuring every child gets a fair shot.
