Supreme Court to hear Maryland school admissions race case

Supreme Court school admissions racial discrimination magnet schools Montgomery County

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear Association for Education Fairness v. Montgomery County Board of Education, a case involving the admissions policies of four magnet middle schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. The lawsuit, filed by a group of parents, alleges that the district’s selection process discriminates against Asian American students in an effort to increase enrollment for Black and Latino students.

The current admissions system, which was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizes a lottery-based process. Students qualify for the lottery based on standardized test performance relative to their peers at their respective elementary schools. The plaintiffs argue that this system disadvantages Asian American students, who are often concentrated in high-performing, low-poverty elementary schools.

The Supreme Court will focus on a specific legal question: whether a plaintiff challenging a facially neutral admissions policy as racially discriminatory must establish that the targeted racial group suffered an aggregate disparate impact relative to its share of the applicant pool. The court is expected to hear arguments in the coming months and issue a ruling by the end of June.
