Riding the Yellow School Bus
While the yellow school bus is emblematic of American education, there is variation in bus service across the country. Millions of students rely on the bus, making transportation an essential part of a student’s educational experience. Thus, equity in transportation access is a key component of educational equity. Using national district-level data and New York City student-level data, we examine equity in transportation finance and bus provision…
Pursuing Diversity
Background: In the United States, students’ experiences are shaped by racioethnic, socioeconomic, and linguistic segregation. School choice, and especially charter schools, generally exacerbate existing levels of school segregation. Counter to this trend, hundreds of intentionally diverse charter schools (IDCS), with a mission to promote school diversity, have opened across the country. Purpose: This study aims to clarify how IDCS operationalize …
Neighborhood Outcomes
Neighborhood outcomes are the tendency for neighborhood‐level characteristics to affect individual‐level outcomes. Neighborhoods can affect individuals in a variety of ways including access to high quality schools, employment opportunities, and amenities such as grocery stores and open spaces. Identifying neighborhood effects is difficult both because it is hard to define what is meant by a neighborhood and because individuals tend to sort across…
The Effect of Residential Mobility on Student Performance
Residential mobility is likely to have consequences for student performance, but prior empirical work is largely correlational and offers little insight into its impacts. Using rich, longitudinal data, we estimate the effects of residential mobility on the performance of New York City public school students. Using both student fixed effects and instrumental variables approaches, we find that long-distance moves have negative effects, while short-…
Is neighbourhood destiny? Exploring the link between neighbourhood mobility and student outcomes
The notion that children from ‘good’ neighbourhoods are destined for success while those from ‘bad’ neighbourhoods are destined for failure has considerable popular appeal. Residential location is strongly linked to school quality, access to educated adults, exposure to violence, etc. There is, however, surprisingly little evidence on the link between the neighbourhood in which a child begins school and later schooling outcomes. Understanding ear…
