To comply with the district desegregation plan, the San Francisco Unified School District previously required higher scores for Chinese American students applying to the academic magnet, Lowell High School, than for more underrepresented groups. Several Chinese parents sued the district, challenging the legality of the desegregation plan, which led to the recent end of race-based assignments. This article examines the admissions debate at Lowell and suggests that the exclusion of Asian and Latino concerns in the district’s policy-making process led to the lawsuit. Furthermore, this article provides a detailed examination of Lowell enrollment figures and discusses misconceptions about high-achieving African American and Latino students.
