“#DOE continues to fail students at every turn<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Families in District 2 just saw the fruits of the \u201cdiversity\u201d drive inflicted on them by the central Department of Education, as top-performing middle-schoolers got assigned to struggling high schools for next year under new admissions procedures.<\/p>\n

The inevitable result: District 2 parents are fleeing the public-school system, just as they\u2019ve started to do in other areas that get similar treatment. And if the DOE doesn\u2019t drop this madness under the next mayor, many more will follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy kid did everything she was supposed to do,\u201d said Herbert Bauernebel, whose daughter got into none of the 10 schools she tried for despite a 97 percent average. \u201cShe worked really hard. We\u2019re dumbfounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

He knows of about 20 kids from IS 276 in Battery Park City rejected by all their listed schools and instead assigned to troubled Murry Bergtraum HS, which can\u2019t possibly offer them the same academic challenges.<\/p>\n

Adding to the horrors was the DOE\u2019s move to do away with a neighborhood preference that reserved spots for kids who lived near a school; now each once-competitive high school must set aside at least half its seats for low-income app<\/a>licants. And random lotteries have replaced high standards.<\/p>\n

Parents are \u201cdesperate at this point,\u201d one mom told The Post. \u201cSome are planning to move, some are going private if they can afford it, some are sending their kids to live with grandparents.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the exodus is already citywide, as families fled the system because of its utter failures during the pandemic. The DOE won\u2019t admit it, but enrollment has fallen below 890,000 students \u2014 down from more than a million kids a decade ago, The Post discovered after reviewing DOE records.<\/p>\n

In late January,\u00a0DOE officials pegged this year\u2019s enrollment at \u201capproximately 960,000 students\u201d\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a 4 percent drop over last year, with 43,000 kids exiting\u00a0the system. But the new numbers indicate a loss of 70,000 more. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The DOE disputed that number last week \u2014 but refused to give the current enrollment.\u00a0And the mayor\u2019s own budget documents match The Post\u2019s figures. <\/p>\n

Bottom line: Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s policies are destroying the city\u2019s public schools. They\u2019re headed on a rapid downward spiral if his successor doesn\u2019t reverse course.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
