Are the Poor Concentrated in Poor School Districts?

Nelson, F. Howard

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v5 n1 p19-30 Spr 1983

In a study that matched Wisconsin 1974 taxpayers with the school districts where they reside, it was found that poor people live in similar kinds of school districts (defined by school district property wealth, median family income, per pupil expenditure etc.) as nonpoor people. Implications of the research are discussed. (Author/LC)
