Lowell High School will return to academic-based admissions, the San Francisco Board of Education decided Wednesday evening in a 4-3 vote.

The board's decision restores merit-based admissions for the 2023-24 school year at Lowell, which had been suspended during the pandemic in favor of lottery-based admissions.

The board had decided in early 2021 to make the lottery-based admissions permanent, but a Superior Court judge ruled late last year that the board had violated California's open meeting law. The judge's ruling came too late for the 2022 academic year. The board's vote on Wednesday turned down a recommendation from Superintendent Vince Matthews to keep the lottery system in place for another year.

SF school board votes to bring back merit-based admissions at Lowell High SchoolThis comes after the school switched to a lottery system for the 2021 academic year during the pandemic, and as an effort to help improve diversity. 1 question is how did diversity change in 2021. The article was not good journalism leaving 1 query unanswered or why they went back to a merit based system. “Diversity” aka saying colored kids (blacks and browns) are too stupid compared to whites and Asians.
