'A new report from the Civil Rights Project finds that New York retains its place as the most segregated state for black students, and second most segregated for Latino students, trailing only California. The report also makes clear that New York is experiencing an acceleration of demographic changes outlined in the earlier 2014 report. White students are no longer the state’s majority group as they were in 2010. the proportion of Asian students increasing sharply to more than 17% in 2018, and Latino students becoming the largest racial/ethnic group, from 35% in 1990 to 41% in 2018. Conversely, there has been a significant decline in the black student population. The new research also examines the expansion of school choice and charter schools and how they may have contributed to the continued segregation of the city’s schools. The research underscores that many in New York City are engaged in important efforts to integrate schools and there are a significant number of schools showing signs of reduced segregation.'
'A new study of school segregation shows public school districts across the Syracuse metro area are the 13th most segregated by race in the country. The Century Foundation just published new data showing the Syracuse area just behind Chicago-Evanston, Illinois and just ahead of Flint, Michigan. Newark, New Jersey and Gary, Indiana lead the list for most segregated when comparing White to Black students.'
'The study compares 200 schools that educate more than 100,000 students across Onondaga, Oswego and Madison Counties. 93.7% of the segregation is seen when comparing public school districts to each other. The highest measurement of this Segregation Index comes when a school has either all White or all Black students.'
'The Rochester area ranks 8th. The Albany-Schenectady metro area ranks 22nd in segregation between public school districts nationally.
We have previously reported on the segregation of schools in Syracuse and Onondaga County in our series of reports on The Map. "Syracuse is like many other cities in the northeast that have maintained segregation by housing, by ethnicity as we see the growth of suburbs that have become whiter and more distant from the city," explained Dr. George Theoharis of Syracuse University. "Syracuse is more segregated than it was because of issues of white flight and economic disparity. "
'Our reporting on The Map highlights the racial makeup and failing performance of Dr. Martin Luther King School in Syracuse. Attending the Dr. King school today, 121 Black students, eleven Hispanic, one Native-American, six multi-racial and one white child. Statewide, the average performance for elementary schools on English Language Arts tests for 3rd and 4th grades in 52% proficient. At Dr. King school, the ELA proficiency is 3%. Only 3 of 121 Black students scored proficient on the test, according to the most recent state data. For more than a decade, New York State labeled Dr. George Theoharis of Syracuse University. "Syracuse is more segregated than it was because of issues of white flight and economic disparity. "
I remember a year or more when we first became acquainted. Very short talks about the farm and mention of your son. It was very pleasant. You were just beginning to communicate a little bit here and there on the forum. Times have changed. You've become omnipresent. The day is very bright I hope that you and the family have a happy Monday. Cheers!

Thanks Fern. Indeed, I would have done well to post a link to this since I was aware of it some time back, but forgot.
However, mostly, I was writing my own lived experience in comparison between Texas and NY.
My own live experience is vastly different between Texas and NY with Texas experience having been BETTER than my experience in NY.

Trailing only CA! I wouldn't have guessed that!
