The Association Of Neighborhood Schools Assignment Plan With Economic, Racial And Academic Outcomes In One North Carolina District, Theodore Kaniuka

The results indicate that in one North Carolina school district over 15 years, (a) schools became more racially segregated, and (b) the achievement …
