“I know from my 21 years as an educator that far more students could thrive in our Specialized High Schools, if only given the chance,” Ross-Porter said in a statement along with the results. “Instead, the continued use of the Specialized High School Admissions Test will produce the same unacceptable results over and over again, and it’s far past the time for our students to be fairly represented in these schools.” White students made up 27.9% of the students admitted compared to 5.4% Hispanic and 3.6% black. Supporters of the test have taken issue with Ross-Porter’s comments, including activists who represent Asian groups in the city.
