Pace University High School - Student Body

Student Body

The school accepts about 108 students each year out of more than 4000 applicants. 30% of the student body comes from Brooklyn and Queens, but the school has students from all five boroughs. Although the first graduating class was roughly 50% Asian (because it drew its initial students from the surrounding Chinatown neighborhood), subsequent classes were more diverse, so the school's demographics are now evenly divided among the Latino/a, African-American, and Asian ethnicities.
