Horace Mann School in New York is the kind of school that remains superlative in most traditional criteria of a school’s success and distinction year after year. This school maintains a very high enrollment roster with excellent faculty numbers and qualifications. And it does so at a whopping 43% minority ratio, higher than the state average of 40%. The school started developing its diversity and inclusion policy in 1990. Recently, the Office of Identity, Culture, and Institutional Equity (ICIE) has been consistently active in making sure both existing and prospective students feel accepted, seen, encouraged, and safe on campus. The school trains its faculty and other employees in anti-racism through professional development activities, including workshops, speaking events, and parent engagements. The school also requires that qualified candidates of color be in the final round of hiring for all openings at the school. There are student and administration led initiatives and projects to increase awareness and engagement with Latinx and Black diasporas. All these policies have made this school a leader in the successful attraction and retention of colored families in the enrollment register.
