    The document discusses Stuyvesant High School in New York City, one of the most competitive public schools. It admits students primarily based on a single entrance exam. Last year, only 7 out of 895 available places (0.8%) were offered to black students, despite black students making up 25% of the district's population. Asian Americans, who perform better on the exam, comprise 73% of the student body. An alumnus questions whether only 7 black students are capable, or if there is a problem with how admission is determined.

    ·Unit8 text paragraph 1 and 2

    Stuyvesant High School is considered the crown jewel of the public


    schools in New York City. The magnet to magnet school is one of America's
    biggest feeders to Harvard; a list of alumni includes four Nobel laureates. It
    is also one of New York City's most competitive schools, admitting pupils
    on the basis of asingle, high-stakes exam and little else. To some, that seems
    the meritocratic ideal. To others, it yields alarming results. Of the 895 places
    available last year, only 7 (or0.8%) were offered to black pupils (in a district
    where 25% of pupils are black). Asian-Americans do far better in the
    entrance exam and are 73% of the school population - or 4 times their share
    of the pupil population in the district.
    "You have to believe either that there are only 7 black kids capable of
    doing the work of Stuyvesant or that there is something horribly wrong,"
    says Richard Buery, a graduate of Stuyvesant who is now chief of policy
    and public affairs for the Knowledge is Power Program, a network of
    charter schools.
