A temporary change in the admissions criteria for Bostonâs exam schools increased the diversity of the accepted applicants, particularly boosting the percentages of Black, Latino, and low-income students, according to data released Friday.
The data analysis confirms earlier projections that temporarily suspending the admissions exam and instead using grades and
ZIP codes would lead to a more diverse selection of applicants and lower the portion of
white and Asian students receiving admission offers.
