The Association of Neighborhood Schools Assignment Plan with Economic, Racial, and Academic Outcomes in One North Carolina District
Theodore Kaniuka
Journal of Research Initiatives, v7 n3 Article 1 2023
When unified status was granted to numerous school districts, school boards developed redistricting plans to implement neighborhood schools. Social justice advocates decried these plans as they reversed over 40 years of progress, as many of these efforts resulted in resegregating schools homogenously grouped by race and wealth. Using piecewise and Difference in Difference regression with publicly facing data, this study assessed the association between neighborhood school attendance plans, school racial and economic balance, and student reading achievement. The results indicate that in one North Carolina school district over 15 years, (a) schools became more racially segregated, and (b) the achievement of students attending racial homogenous schools had lower academic performance. Policy and societal implications are discussed.
