Our goal is to ensure that the community at large is educated on the extensive issues that plague the New York City Public Schools while protecting the SHSAT-only admissions policy for the Specialized High Schools.
At least 50,000 students per grade fail to reach proficiency standards. There are 85,000 students per grade.
A 59% failure rate within the NYC Department of Education is educational malpractice. Blaming an exam for a lack of diversity is simple a way to deviate from the real failures.
Failing Over 75% of our Black & Hispanic Communites
CoalitionEDU is dedicated to making sure that our students receive the best
education possible. The DOE constantly drives attention to the SHSAT
in order to ignore the actual problem. The DOE begins failing over 75% of
our Black and Hispanic students starting in the 3rd grade.
