In a new education report titled A Diverse City Needs Integrated Schools, the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) examines the impact and benefits of school integration on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students and families in New York City. 

While the prevailing narratives around the AAPI community and the New York City Public School System tend to center attendees and supporters of the city’s specialized high schools, the survey conducted by CACF in February 2022 found both AAPI students and parents in New York City believe that racial diversity is a major consideration when selecting a school that fits a child’s educational, social, and emotional needs.
