  1. District fragmentation is positively associated with economic segregation for both households without children and public school families.
  2. The amount of students enrolled in private schools negatively and significantly predicts between-district economic segregation only for public school families.
  3. Growing income inequality leads to growing inequality in contexts and institutions that shape economic opportunity.
  4. Neighborhood income positively predicts economic segregation for public school families, in that the public school are segregated from all others.
