Targeted reforms related to rubrics would make admissions more equitable for students. The absence of a centralized repository of rubrics for high school screened programs suggests a need for significantly increased focus and attention to this area. Screened Out: The Lack of Access to NYC Screened Program Admissions Criteria Feerick Center, Fall 2019
[S]creens are inherently unequal…. NYC DOE [should] develop and provide screened programs with a set of criteria (“standard criteria”) to consider adopting for the 2020-2021 admissions cycle, including criteria that promote equity…. [S]chool closures [due to COVID-19] will exacerbate the inequities that already plague the system [and] we implore NYCDOE to take advantage of every opportunity—including changes to admissions policies—to counteract those negative impacts.
