According to the chart on page 5, 14.3% of the total students are White, apparently not hispanic, yet according to a census report for 2011 for NYC White non- hispanic, is 58%....where have all the childern gone?

Maybe private/home schools.... Interesting point you bring up.

You have pointed out a huge disconnect in the stats.

I understand most children born are non-white, but it’s still perplexing.

Private school? We have similar issues in Milwaukee. It's mandated that teachers, firefighters and city workers live in the city but they do NOT send their kids to Milwaukee Public Schools.

I’ll take a -guess- that the “14.3%” represents white kids in -public- schools.

I’ll also guess that as many, or more (perhaps most), are enrolled in private schools not a part of this survey.

A good chunk of the kids are in Catholic schools. Many of that 58% are still single, not native New Yawkers from overseas and around the country, especially queers.

I was born in NYC and grew up here. Almost all of my friends who got married and had kids moved to the suburbs.

Religious schools (Catholic and Jewish) and Private Schools educate many. There are only a few good public schools in the city. Also, many of the whites are young and unmarried. They move to the suburbs when they have kids. The 500-800 thousand dollar one bedroom apartment in Manhattan becomes a nice home or downpayment in the suburbs.
