New Haven District Schools Move Toward Ethnic Balance
Ethnic balance in New Haven district schools edges toward parity with the district as a whole. Spanish surname students, the largest minority, drop from 38 per cent to 3.45 per cent in the last year, while all 10 schools stay within 10 per cent of the district figure. Barnard shows the largest deviation at 25 per cent. El Rancho Verde and Manuel White gain in Spanish surname students. District officials attribute Barnard’s shift to attendance-area origins and new tracts. Debate grows on neighborhood school concept versus community schools, with a bond election Feb. 23 delaying discussion on the issue.
