Can Reducing School Segregation Close the Achievement Gap?

  • Black and Hispanic students were highly segregated between and within schools, with the former more severe than the latter.
  • This segregation experienced little change between 1992 and 1996, though Hispanic segregation did increase slightly.
  • Racial achievement gaps also changed very little between 1992 and 1996.
  • There is a systematic relationship between racial segregation and the mathematics achievement gap.
  • States with a higher degree of between-school segregation have significantly larger between-school achievement gap for both Blacks and Hispanics.
  • Within-school Black-white segregation is not significantly related to the Black-white achievement gap.
  • Within- school Hispanic-white achievement gap is significantly related to the Hispanic-white achievement gap.
