No Silver Bullet 
Published by The New York ACORN Schools Office, this report will briefly illustrate the extent of the failure of public education in the South Bronx, the persistence of educational failure in the South Bronx over time, and the concentration of the results of such extensive, persistent failure.

Secret Apartheid
This report summarizes an ACORN action research project that borrowed field test methods used to document housing discrimination to investigate how parents, particularly parents of color, are denied the information they need to make decisions about their children's education in the New York City public schools.

Secret Apartheid II: Race, Regents and Resources
This ACORN report is a follow-up to Secret Apartheid that analyzes how coursework that is essential to doing well on the competitive entrance exam for New York City's famous "science high schools" is denied to thousands of middle school students in low-income communities of color.

Secret Apartheid III: Follow Up to Failure
This ACORN report spotlights the Board of Education's lack of good faith efforts to correct the institutional racism outlined in the first Secret Apartheid report.  The report also presents evidence that children of color are significantly underrepresented in the system's "talented and gifted" programs, and that magnet programs intended to integrate public schools sometimes actually produce islands of white students in student bodies that are still predominantly black and Latino.
