A lack of funding, social services, and information has created a system that keeps the poor poor. Historically, racial minorities make up a larger portion of the lower class due to systemic racism. The rich (of any race, but mostly white people) can afford to send there children to the “rich, white schools”

The quote shows that while schools may contain more diverse groupings of students: culture, classroom makeup, and failure to discuss our backgrounds make our schools more segregated.

Bittersweet. Diversity is important, but it is also valuable to be in a community where you feel seen, loved, and familiar—especially as a minority.

Pushes for school choice??

The rise of majority white suburbs since the 60s and the way our public schools are funded by property taxes likely promotes homogeneous student populations

It is disheartening to hear this and putting in the context of the US history and the attempts of de-segregation

this is disheartening but not entirely surprising. I’ve seen it firsthand

While schools are becoming more ethnically diverse, public schools remain segregated due to gentrification and the way redlining

Wow this stat is quite discouraging. In public school, this would suggest that SES still strongly correlates with ethnicity.

Not shocked, I went to a 99% white public school, and currently teach at a 99% Hispanic private school. Unfortunately, discriminatory housing policies from the 20th century have proved more lasting than de jure segregation laws.

Private schools and wealthier families began sending children to private schools that opened around the times schools desegregated. Also zoning laws and cities. This is a major concept in urban sociology. Also that idea of white flight and moving to the suburbs.

As an aggregate, the students attending US schools are more diverse, but specific schools themselves face more segregation.

long-term impacts of housing segregation/ housing trends

impact of private-schools/charter schools/ magnet schools in certain areas

This is not super surprising with the trend of selective suburbanization and de facto segregation increasing in urban areas

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if this has anything to do with a push for differentiation/ specialization of classes for specific needs (ex.: serving ELL students in a school specially focused on the learning English as a Second Language).

# data[].attributes.body
It means that towns and cities have become more segregated as well. School districts then have different appropriations of funding based on the quality of the neighborhood

Sometimes attempts at diversity end up more polarizing than collaborative
