Chalkbeat has a map that also can prove useful, you can see it Here.
If you look at the table only two school districts make up more than 10% of the entering class. They are District 2 in Manhattan and District 20 in Brooklyn. Both areas are upper middle class neighborhoods and have a diverse student population. The worst acceptance rates, less than 1%, occurred in Districts 7, 9, and 12 in the Bronx as well as Districts 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, and 32 in Brooklyn.
In addition, the total Bronx student acceptance rate is only 5.6%, less than the acceptance rate of seven districts. They are Districts 2 and 3 in Manhattan, Districts 15 and 20 in Brooklyn, Districts 24, 25, and 26 in Queens, and District 31 in Staten Island.
Good luck Bill de Blasio trying to desegregate schools and getting the State Legislature to remove the SHST as the basis for being accepted in the three specialized high schools.

Acceptance (please correct and don't post)... thanks
My son, DeShawn, said he'd rather be in a failing school then go to school with whites. As a white father I was kind of offended but understood where DeShawn was coming from. DeShawn closed down 2 schools. I know I am being biased because he's my son but honestly he wasn't given enough credit for getting those schools shut down. Carmen tried to blame it on administrators and teachers. She was a hater. Anything but to not give credit to my son, DeShawn. DeShawn is the real deal.
DeShawn: I love you, son. I hope when you make it to high school or if you make it to high school, you go choose a specialized high school. Let them see what DeShawn does in class and thank DeBlasio.
I may have taught DeShawn.
I have taught a DeShawn, loved all that he does.
I applied for a school guidance counselor position listed on the open market. The school is a feeder school to Stuyvesant HS. I called up to make sure that they got my resume. A lot of resumes are not uploading clear and are printing out distorted. Anyway, they did not care about my years of counseling experience. They just had one question, "Do you speak Mandarin?". No, I don't speak Mandarin and so that was that.
Open Market is a sham!
I heard DOE has put a hiring freeze on GCs! That may work in our favor!
One of the Chancellor's goals is to have more counselors in schools!
Let's see how this plays out!
There is a freeze on GCs. A friend of mine is a GC trying to transfer into the doe and was hired only for the principal to realize there was a freeze in place (what a dolt).
Principals are avoiding posting school counselor positions on the Open market. This year there have not been many positions. Principals are waiting for the freeze to be lifted then will continue to hire new school counselors. Principals do not want school counselors with many years because of their budget.
