whether New Jersey’s schools are unconstitutionally segregated and if the state bears responsibility to fix it.The pre-K-to-8 Absecon School District, about six miles inland from Atlantic City, is supposed to funnel its graduating middle schoolers to Pleasantville High School, a majority-Black district. Absecon is 71% white but for the first time this year its public schools were majority non-white.
In the 2019-2020 school year, Absecon sent 26 students to Pleasantville High School, four of whom were white. That year, only five of the more than 800 students at Pleasantville were white. Even though Absecon’s white students make up less than 1% of Pleasantville’s high school student body, Allen-McMillan said, allowing Absecon students to go elsewhere would reduce Pleasantville high school’s white student population by as much as 80%.
