School Quality and the Longer-Term Effects of Head Start.
Currie, Janet; Thomas, Duncan
Journal of Human Resources, v35 n4 p755-74 Fall 2000
Comparison of data for 2,531 black and 14,343 white children showed that black children who participate in Head Start later attend schools of lesser quality than other black children. Gaps in test scores between Head Start participants and others are similar for blacks and whites. Head Start effects may fade quicker among blacks because of inferior schools. (SK)
