★1934年以降、続いている学力テスト一発勝負の入試が1972年にNY州議会で法制化(Hecht Calandra Act)
New York State Education Law '2590-g(12)(b) provides:
//www.counsel.nysed.gov/Decisions/volume35/d13477.htm
Admissions to the Bronx High School of Science, Stuyvesant High School and Brooklyn Technical High School and such similar further special high schools which may be established shall be solely and exclusively by taking a competitive, objective and scholastic achievement examination, which shall be open to each and every child in the city of New York in either the eighth or ninth year of study, without regard to any school district wherein the child may reside. No candidate may be admitted to a special high school unless he has successfully achieved a score above the cut-off score for the openings in the school for which he has taken the examination. The cut-off score shall be determined by arranging the scores of all candidates who took the examination and who then commit themselves to attend the school in descending order from the highest score and counting down to the score of the first candidate beyond the number of openings available.
入試選抜方法にアンチの市民団体からクレームがついたが、2015年4月28日のNY州議会の議決で、テスト一発勝負の入試の変更は不要の議決がなされた。
従来通りテスト一発勝負を維持。
サポート団体からCoalitionEdu.orgのFBサイトの巻頭 Toby Ann Stavisky州議会上院議員(Bronx Scienceの卒業生)からの報告。
