Based on ethnographic research, this article analyzes the pattern of polarized socialization at an urban high school. It concentrates on aspects of adolescent experience: the status-stratified residential structure of the community, interaction patterns in the school, peer groups, the sectioning system adopted by the school, and the students' differential access to pedagogical content. Segregated interaction was typical in these dimensions of day-to-day life. The school contributed to perpetuating the structure that the community interposed to separate blacks from whites
