The Department of Education wants to bolster minority enrollment at the city’s elite high schools with a set of new reforms slated to kick off this summer.

Officials said black and Hispanic students comprise 68 percent of city school students but only make up 11 percent of specialized high school enrollment.

To combat the disparity, the DOE will roll out new initiatives to address the longstanding frustration.

Outreach teams will connect with high performing black and Latino kids at the junior high school level and encourage them to apply to the elite campuses.

They also will provide entrance exam tutoring for minority applicants to improve their chances of admission.

“Our specialized high schools need to better reflect the diversity of our neighborhoods and our city while maintaining their high standards, and this strong package of reforms is an important step forward,” Mayor de Blasio said.

The target schools will also be required to develop a plan to promote a school climate that is welcoming to all students, officials said.

“This is about equity and excellence for all of our high performing middle school students regardless of their ZIP code and background,” Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña said.

The program will be funded by $2 million in state grants.
