The schools where no minority kids passed the tests were a mixed group. Some, such as Public School 114 in Belle Harbor, Queens, were relatively high-performing schools that enrolled few black and Hispanic kids.
Others were troubled schools that struggled to pass any kids at all, such as the School for the Urban Environment in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
Education Department spokeswoman Devora Kaye said: “We are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of ethnicity or background, receive a high-quality education.”
