Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed an elite public high school in Manhattan for admitting only seven black students out of 895 available slots in the freshman class.

'This is a system failure,' the freshman New York Democrat wrote on Twitter of entrance stats at Stuyvesant High School. 'Education inequity is a major factor in the racial wealth gap. This is what injustice looks like.'

Stuyvesant is one of New York City's elite specialized schools, which admit students based solely on their performance on the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test.

Currently, the student body at Stuyvesant is 74 per cent Asian, many of them from low-income and immigrant families.

New York City's total population is 43 per cent white, 29 per cent Hispanic, 24 per cent black, and 14 per cent Asian.
