  • My Name Is Leonie Haimson
    This letter, written by Class Size Matters and Advocates for Children in Feb. 2004, protesting the Mayor’s proposal to hold back students on the basis of their test scores was signed by 107 eminent academics, researchers, and national experts on testing who say that such a policy is unfair and unreliable, and is likely to lead to lower achievement and higher drop out rates.1 The signers included four past presidents of the American Education Research Association, the nation’s premier organization of educational researchers, as well as the chair of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Appropriate Use of Educational Testing, and several members of the Board on Testing and Assessment of the National Research Council. Signers also included Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, renowned pediatrician and author of numerous works on child care and development, Robert Tobias, former head of Division of Assessment and Accountability for the Board of Education and now Director of the Center for Research on Teaching and Learning at NYU, and Dr. Ernest House, who did the independent evaluation of New York City’s failed “Gates” retention program in the 1980’s. Even the two companies that produce the third grade tests are on record that a decision to hold back a child should never be based upon test scores alone. February 11, 2004 Dear Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein: We ask that you reconsider and withdraw your proposal to retain 3rd grade students on the basis of test scores. All of the major educational research and testing organizations oppose using test results as the sole criterion for advancement or retention, since judging a particular student on the basis of a single exam is an inherently unreliable and an unfair measure of his or her actual level of achievement.

Though im- Development mensely popular and highly selective, their policy of admitting New York University students using a single entrance exam has raised questions about New York, NY 10003 diversity and equity in access.

Differences in application and New York, NY 10003 matriculation rates also affect the diversity in these schools, and christine.baker-smith@nyu we find evidence of middle school “effects” on both application .edu and admission.

They would not, however, ap- preciably increase the share of offers given to black or low-income students.

  • Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association
    Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association Executive Board of the Stuyvesant High School Parents’ Association December 2018 Statement Regarding Proposed Changes to New York City Specialized High School Admissions 1) An intense debate has been taking place since the referral to the floor of the New York State Legislature in June 2018 of a bill (A10427A/S08503-A)1 that would change the admissions process for New York City’s specialized high schools by amending the section of the New York State Education Law (§2590G, Subdivision 12) that is commonly referred to as the “Hecht-Calandra Act.”2 Under the proposed legislation, for which the stated purpose is increased diversity in the specialized high schools, the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) would be phased out entirely over a period of three years as the means of admitting applicants to the specialized high schools and would be replaced by an admissions process that would make offers to the top 7% of students from each New York City public middle school.3 2) The Executive Board of the Stuyvesant High School Parents’ Association recognizes and respects the strongly held opinions that accompany this debate on all sides of the discussion. We support the goal of expanded diversity at Stuyvesant and the other specialized high schools, including increasing Black and Latino/a enrollment. However, we oppose Bill A10427A/S08503-A as a means to accomplish that goal, based on concerns that have been raised as part of the public discussion. We support an admissions process for New York City’s specialized high schools that is fully objective and transparent, that ensures fair and equitable treatment of all New York City students, and that enables those schools to maintain the academic standards and successes that characterize them today.

  • Policy Statement from the Coalition of Specialized High Schools Alumni Organizations
    POLICY STATEMENT FROM THE COALITION OF SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOLS ALUMNI ORGANIZATIONS BRONX SCIENCE ALUMNI FOUNDATION BROOKLYN TECH ALUMNI FOUNDATION SITHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, INC. STUYVESANT HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION April 2019 The Bronx Science Alumni Foundation, Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation, Staten Island Technical High School Alumni Association and Stuyvesant High School Alumni Association believe in the importance of a specialized high school education and want to ensure that it is preserved for future generations. We also value diversity and strongly believe that much can – and must – be done to increase diversity in these schools. However, we do not believe that eliminating the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) as the sole criteria for admissions and replacing it with alternative admissions mechanisms is the answer to the much larger problems facing New York City and its educational system. Furthermore, in a New York City public education system with 130 other options for high-achieving students from across the five boroughs, there is a valuable role for 8 specialized high schools to play. As legislators and policy makers on the State and City levels convene a series of hearings, roundtables and discussions in the coming months, the members of the Coalition of Specialized High School Organizations look forward to participating in the dialogue and offering our input on both the root causes of this problematic lack of diversity and, more importantly, potential solutions. THE REAL ISSUE The purpose of having the SHSAT is to permit every child an equal opportunity to gain admission to a specialized high school regardless of race or ethnicity and without favoritism.

  • New York City's Children First
    AP PHOTO/MARK LENNIHAN PHOTO/MARK AP New York City’s Children First Lessons in School Reform By Maureen Kelleher January 2014 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG New York City’s Children First Lessons in School Reform By Maureen Kelleher January 2014 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 11 NYC’s reforms and district performance in the Bloomberg years 19 Remaking the district: Mayoral control, school autonomy, and accountability 27 Remaking the schools: Small schools, choice, closures, and charters 35 Remaking the budget: Focus on equity 41 Remaking the workforce: Developing talent in local context 51 Conclusion and recommendations 57 Endnotes Introduction and summary Under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City’s education system embarked on a massive change effort, known as Children First, that produced significant results: new and better school options for families, more college-ready gradu- ates, and renewed public confidence in New York City’s schools. New York City’s reform effort has also produced significant change beyond the city’s own schools and has helped to set a national agenda for reforming education. Over the past 12 years, other districts, especially in large urban centers, have looked to New York City for ideas as they work to improve outcomes for their students. New York City’s central administrators have also gone on to lead districts elsewhere in the nation, spreading not just particular reform strategies but also a mindset focused on bold and rapid system change to improve student achievement. This report tells the story of how Children First reforms evolved over the course of Bloomberg’s mayoralty and synthesizes research on the effectiveness of those reforms.
