The roots of educational inequality
The roots of educational inequality: Philadelphia’s Germantown High School, 1907–2014, by Erika M. Kitzmiller." Journal of Urban Affairs, ahead-of-print(ahead-of-print), pp. 1–2
The battles of Germantown
Through waves of migration, demographic change, economic upturns and downturns, and growth and deterioration, cities and their neighborhoods are in constant flux. In the face of that persistent cha
In Search of a Safe School
Do school security policies affect how safe parents perceive schools to be, and do they influence parental choice behavior? We address these questions using data from a survey that asked U.S. parents to evaluate hypothetical schools whose security systems and student body racial composition were systematically varied, along with other school characteristics. Results indicate that parents identify schools with intensified security measures as less…
Within-District Racial Segregation and the Elusiveness of White Student Return to Urban Public Schools
Recent research has determined that racial segregation within school districts has decreased, on average, over the past two decades, even as segregation between school districts has persisted. Although case studies have documented White families’ return to urban public schools, with potential implications for segregation patterns, quantitative data on the scope of this trend are lacking. In this article, I examine enrollment and segregation withi…
Identifying the Urban
What does the term “urban” signify as a descriptor of contemporary communities in the United States? We investigate this question using data from the Soul of the Community survey, examining how people within eight metropolitan areas characterize their communities. A substantial disjunction exists between where within their regions respondents live and how they describe those areas. Many central–city residents label their communities “suburban” or…
The fight for America’s schools
When urban renewal threatened her West Village neighborhood, Jacobs marshaled the discourse of sociability in opposition. Her defense of diversity, density, and mixed-use districts arose from her journalism, her knowledge of East Harlem, and her study of ecology. Ecology gave her the language and the credibility to defend fragile city districts and to challenge as unscientific those who thought of slum clearance or highway construction as simple …

Waiting for Bobos
The degree to which lower–income residents are displaced by the process of gentrification has been the subject of considerable debate. Displacement is generally framed as a possible, and potentially remediable, outcome of gentrification. This portrayal of the link between gentrification and displacement is problematic, though, because gentrification can proceed without substantial displacement, while displacement frequently occurs in the absence …
Opinion polling and the measurement of Americans’ attitudes regarding education
The meaning, measurement, and implications of ‘public opinion’ have long been a source of debate. In this paper, we examine the extent to which the educational priorities of elites in the US reflect the educational priorities of the American public. To do so, we focus on one particular segment of the education policy-making elite – education poll creators. Through a content analysis of questions asked between 1969 and 2013 in the Phi Delta Kappa/…
School Racial Composition and Parental Choice
Racial segregation remains a persistent problem in U.S. schools. In this article, we examine how social psychological factors-in particular, individuals' perceptions of schools with varying demographic characteristics-may contribute to the ongoing structural problem of school segregation. We investigate the effects of school racial composition and several nonracial school characteristics on white parents' school enrollment decisions for their chi…
Parental choice, neighbourhood schools, and the market metaphor in urban education reform
Critics of many popular urban school reforms in the United States allege that these reform efforts unfairly insert market forces into the public domain, resulting in widening inequalities. In this paper, I challenge the notion that market forces per se are responsible for the gentrification that school reform often facilitates. Drawing on in-depth interviews, government documents, and media accounts, I analyse one component of school reform in Bo…
Middle‐Class Parents, Urban Schooling, and the Shift From Consumption to Production of Urban Space
Dominant approaches to the study of gentrification tend to attribute this process either to the production of urban space by elites or to the consumption of urban space by individual consumers. In this article, we take a preliminary step toward bridging this gap by illustrating how these groups may, in some cases, be the same actors. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with middle‐class parents in Boston, we explore the transitions that gentrifiers un…
Attitudes Toward Diversity and the School Choice Process
White flight from urban public schools has been well documented, but little attention has been paid to middle-class reinvestment in urban schools. This article combines findings from interviews with middle-class parents of Boston Public School students with demographic data from the city’s public elementary schools to examine the motivations of these parents and assess the potential ramifications of their decisions. While providing their children…
