Supreme Court turns away challenge to admissions criteria at Boston high schools

  • The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a challenge to race-neutral admissions criteria at three Boston high schools that aimed to increase racial and economic diversity.

The Supreme Court has decided not to hear a case challenging Boston's exam school admissions policy, thereby leaving in place a lower court's ruling that supported the city's use of a new admissions formula. This formula, implemented in 2019, aims to increase diversity by considering factors like socioeconomic status and English language proficiency alongside test scores and grades. Critics argued that this change discriminated against Asian American students, but the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the policy, stating it was designed to promote diversity and not to disadvantage any particular group. The Supreme Court's refusal to take up the case means that Boston's admissions policy will continue as is, potentially influencing similar policies in other cities.
