37% of the students at Stuyvesant are eligible for free lunches. 9% are eligible for reduced price lunches[1]. Given those results it seems obvious that Stuyvesant’s students are poorer than average for New York.
On a separate note fuck equality of outcome. Harrison Bergeron is not a goal to be aimed for.

- Thriptic 7y agoI stand corrected, thanks
- charlesu 7y agoLunch is free for all students. But when it wasn't, 75% of NYC students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Stuyvesant students are better off than the average NYC public school. The proposed changes would consider class rank in addition to a standardized test. How is that in any way a form of equality of outcome? Is class rank random?
