Middle schools in District 15 of northwest Brooklyn successfully integrated by replacing selective admissions with a lottery system, admitting disadvantaged children, and involving parents, leading to improved diversity and cross-income friendships.
District 15 utilized categories like homelessness, English learning, and low-income status to promote diversity, bypassing legal challenges related to using race as a factor for integration, unlike many other public schools facing stalled racial segregation efforts.
