In 2020, the school board made a number of significant changes to the admissions process meant to increase the ratio of black and Hispanic students admitted. These included the elimination of the application fee; the increase of the number of admitted students from around 480 to 550; the elimination of an entrance exam; the allocation of seats to each middle school equal to 1.5% of their 8th grade student population; and the addition of "experience factors" including whether students are economically disadvantaged, English language learners, or special education students.[40] Following these changes, the proportion of black and Hispanic students admitted increased from 4.52% to 18.36% while the proportion of Asian Americans decreased from 73.05% to 54.36%.[29] The proportion of female students admitted also increased, from 41.80% to 46.00%,[29] and to 55.45% the next year.[30]
後來打官司，地方法院判校方敗訴，聯邦法院巡回法庭凍結地方法院的判決執行後判校方勝，最高法院不受理上訴。招生方法一直維持著。
