Supreme Court to hear challenge to Maryland middle school admissions policy

The Supreme Court agreed to hear a parents' challenge to admissions policies for selective middle school programs in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Posted Updated (13 d ago)

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a challenge to admissions policies for selective middle school programs in Montgomery County, Maryland. Al Jazeera reports the challenge comes from a group of parents.

The parents claim the local policy boosts Black and Latino students while constraining Asian applicants, according to Al Jazeera. The other outlets did not describe the parents' claims in the reports available.

NBC News says the case concerns magnet programs. The Hill describes it as a challenge to admissions at a competitive middle school in a suburban Maryland county.

The New York Times says the court's review follows its rejection of affirmative action in higher education. The Hill calls the case a key test of that 2023 decision, which it says left open how far school districts may go to promote diversity.
