This website has some very interesting reports and studies including this one which provides a critical examination of New York's gifted programs and an analysis of segregation in the programs. Nationally, experts estimate black and Latino students are underrepresented in gifted programs by fifty to seventy percent.

There are also examples of current litigation and legal challenges being undertaken on behalf of various children and/or excluded groups in education generally.
Parents and/or interested readers will find much to read generally on this website whether or not they live in New York especially under their policy reports section.
