Abstract
We conduct descriptive and inferential analyses of publicly available Common Core of Data (CCD) to examine segregation at the local, state, and national levels. Nationally, we find that higher percentages of charter students of every race attend intensely segregated schools. The highest levels of racial isolation are at the primary level for public and middle level for charters. We find that double segregation by race and class is higher in charter schools. Charters are more likely to be segregated, even when controlling for local ethnoracial demographics. A majority of states have at least half of Blacks and a third of Latinx in intensely segregated charters. At the city level, we find that higher percentages of urban charter students were attending intensely segregated schools.
Highlights
The higher levels of segregation for charter school students is noticeable for Black students, who are more than three times as likely to attend racially isolated charter schools
Latinx students are more than twice as likely to attend racially isolated charter schools when compared to neighborhood public schools
The highest levels of racial isolation (46%) in terms of majority non-White status are at the primary grades
Summary
Board of Education decision in 1954 [1], the United States Supreme Court powerfully concluded that in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ had no place. “separate educational facilities,” Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote for a unanimous court “are inherently unequal.”. It has been over sixty years since the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in. Since that time, courts have allowed de facto segregation to flourish [2] and, as a result, schools in the United. The resegregation of the United States, in contravention of Brown, has occurred as a result of judicial retrenchment, and due to other factors such as lax executive enforcement and White flight [4]. Some charter advocates have suggested that racial segregation within schools is acceptable if that comes as a natural by-product of parental choice [8]
