尽管实施了旨在削弱这一联系的择校政策，但“择校”对“择校”仍然重要吗？先前的研究表明，这些政策的存在如何解决分层和隔离与居住地为基础的招生制度的问题，因为家庭不同沿着种族/民族和社会经济线在他们的机会，以及他们如何参与，学校选择过程。我们研究了家庭附近的学校供应如何塑造和限制他们的选择。利用一个独特的数据集，包括父母的排名偏好从一个市区的公立学校的完整菜单，我们发现，西班牙裔，白色，和黑人的父母共享一个强烈的偏好学习成绩，但他们的选择差异可以追溯到附近的供应变化。我们的研究结果说明了父母可以选择的截然不同的学校是如何复制基于种族的分层模式的。
Does ‘‘choosing a home’’ still matter for ‘‘choosing a school,’’ despite implementation of school choice policies designed to weaken this link? Prior research shows how the presence of such policies does little to solve the problems of stratification and segregation associated with residentially based enrollment systems, since families differ along racial/ethnic and socioeconomic lines in their access to, and how they participate in, the school choice process. We examine how families’ nearby school supply shapes and constrains their choices. Drawing on a unique dataset consisting of parents’ ranked preferences from among one urban district’s full menu of public schools, we find that Hispanic, white, and black parents share a strong preference for academic performance, but differences in their choices can be traced to variation in nearby supply. Our findings illustrate how the vastly different sets of schools from which parents can choose reproduce race-based patterns of stratification.
