Nowhere is the gap in opportunities for different races in America more evident than our nation’s top public schools. In New York City, where blacks and Hispanics make up 70% of the city’s school-aged population, they represent less than 5% at the city’s most elite public high schools. This documentary follows a dozen racially and socioeconomically diverse 8th graders as they fight for a seat at one of these schools. Their only way in: to ace a single standardized test. Tested includes the voices of educators, education experts, students, and their families as it explores such issues as access to a high-quality public education, affirmative action, and the model-minority myth. Madison's Asian American Media Spotlight is presenting this film with WUD Film.
