I explore how New York City has managed and justified a school system that remains highly segregated. Today, in the seven decades since Brown v. Board, only a smattering of New York City public/private schools reflect systemwide demographics by race and income. Schools with some racial and economic diversity are not uncommon, but they are far outnumbered by schools with an overwhelmingly Black and/or Latino school population. Due to underfunding and other structural issues, the majority of segregated schools are put at a pronounced disadvantage in serving their students – affirming the Supreme Court’s ruling that “separate education facilities are inherently unequal.”
