Public schools advanced classes see dip in diversity

Advanced classes see dip in diversity - The Boston Globe
In 1999 Boston stopped using racial quotas to assign students to its advanced work classes. Since then the % of black students in advanced classes has dropped from 49 to 25. Black and Hispanic students fill 44 percent of the 968 seats in the accelerated classes in the school district, though they make up more than three-quarters of Boston's students overall.
