Coco and Bissiri go to different public high schools, a few miles apart on Manhattan’s west side. One, predominantly white and middle-class. The other predominantly Black and working class. But demographics aside, what about the quality of education? The resources students have or don’t have. The classes. The extracurricular opportunities.

This week, as a follow-up to our two-part series on the persistence of school segregation, we’re re-airing an episode from back in 2018 to illuminate the vast differences in NYC students’ educational experiences—depending on what schools they attend.

You can read the show notes from the original episode here.
