In school year 2014-15, around 77,000 students in the 8th grade, applied to one of these high schools. The purpose of this Discussion Paper is to shine a light on the NYC-DOE network of screened admissions high schools with the goal of generating discussion, further research and solutions. A methodology was created for the purpose of comparing the geographic distribution of top ranked screened schools to where academically strong students live. Academically strong students, for the purposes of the methodology, are defined as any student scoring a 3.0 or higher on the New York State English Language Arts (ELA) Exam. The analysis here focuses on the top 40 ranked NYC-DOE high schools (based on the DOE’s own peer school system using 8th Grade ELA and Math test scores): 32 screened and the 8 SHSAT exam admissions based high schools. 10 highly competitive screened programs within hybrid high schools were also included in the grouping. Together, this group of 50 high schools has a total of 11,604 seat openings for 9th grade students.  \nFindings and Observations  \n1. Using a ratio of seats available per qualified high school student, here is the borough breakdown:  \n\n|  | 7th Graders Scoring a 3 or 4 on ELA Test | % of total | Number of 9th Grade\u003Cbr>Seats at Top Ranked High Schools | % of Total | Ratio of Students per\u003Cbr>Seats |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Bronx | 2157 | 11 | 840 | 7.2 | For every one student there are .39 seats |\n| Brooklyn | 5957 | 31 | 3405 | 29.3 | For every one student there are .57 seats |\n| Manhattan | 3059 | 16 | 4052 | 34.9 | For every one student there are 1.3 seats |\n| Queens | 6445 | 34 | 2628 | 22.6 | For every one student there are .40 seats |\n| Staten Island | 1346 | 7 | 679 | 5.8 | For every one student there are .50 seats |\n| Total | 18964 | 99 | 11604 | 99.8 | For every one student there are .61 seats |\n\nSource: New York City Department of Education. NYS ELA and Math Test scores for 2013-14. School Quality Guides 2013-14. Figures include both NYC-DOE students (17,941) and NYC Charter Schools (1,023 students) . Private school students are not included in these figures.  \nFor the top ranked high schools, on a student per seat ratio basis by borough, Manhattan has far more 9th grade seat openings than any of the other boroughs: three times as many as Queens, a little more than twice as many as Brooklyn, three times as many as the Bronx, and twice as many as Staten Island. The geographic distribution of screened high school seats for academically strong students is clearly not equitable (these figures do not include private school students applying for a high school seat).  \n2. Of the top ranked 50 NYC-DOE screened admissions high schools, not one is located in the Bronx. This means that either an academically strong Bronx student scores well on the SHSAT exam (there are two SHSAT schools in the Bronx) or they have travel to another borough to attend a top ranked screened high school. In school year 2013-14, there were 2,157 students in the Bronx that meet the NYS-ELA 3 or 4 Test score for the entrance requirement for the top 50 screened high schools (another 2,124 Bronx students scored a 3 or 4 on the NYS-Math test) . One Bronx high school, Bronx Center for Science and Mathematics, falls just outside the ranking. In 2014, it received 3,461 applications for 108 seats and should be given consideration as a top ranked high school opportunity for Bronx students. 17 top ranked screened (and audition based) high schools are located in Manhattan and none in the Bronx.
