The new system steers a minority of students, including virtually all of the city’s white students, into a set of selective, higher—performing schools and steers another group, including most of the city’s students of color, into a group of lower—performing schools. cache/RefID-762-gumus-dawes2013state.txt txt/RefID-762-gumus-dawes2013state.txt
