Stuyvesant is made up of 1 per cent African americans and 2 per cent Hispanics. Bronx science is a little better it is 3 per cent African American. Hunter high School is 3 per cent African American and 1 per cent Hispanic. It has been said
“If you truly believe that the demographics of Hunter represent the distribution of intelligence in this city then you must believe that the Upper West Side, Bayside and Flushing are intrinsically more intelligent than the South Bronx, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Washington Heights, and I refuse to accept that” (From Chris Hayes one of the stars of MSNBC)
At Dalton and Trinity and Horace Mann Hispanics are 3 per cent of the student population . By way of comparison 40 per cent of the New York public school students are Hispanic. African Americans make up another 29 per cent of the New York public school students.
Many of these schools are cut throat and pressure cookers. I don’t consider them elite at all. They appear to be bastions of special privilege. They are the last place I would ever want my kid to go to school. I live in California so that may at least partially explain my slant on this.
