本研究报告介绍了对学区公立学校种族构成与这些地区非公立学校白色学生百分比之间关系的初步研究。具体来说，我们问两个问题：白人在非公立学校的入学率与公立学校的少数民族优势有关吗？公立学校系统外的白人入学率与公立学校系统学生的学习成绩之间是否存在关联？使用两级和三级分层线性模型，我们发现非公立学校中白人较多的学区往往包含少数族裔学生比例较高的公立学校。此外，在学校和个人两级，在白色学生往往在公立学校系统之外入学的地区，成绩测试分数往往较低。此外，在非公立学校学生相对较多的地区，白色和少数民族学生之间的成绩差距往往更大。这些研究结果与以下论点一致，即白色学生从公立学校系统退学与学业成绩呈负相关，因为这往往使少数民族学生集中在公立学校。
This research note presents preliminary research into the relationship between the racial composition of public schools in school districts and the percentages of white students in nonpublic schools in those districts. Specifically, we ask two questions: Is the enrollment of whites in non-public schools associated with minority predominance in public schools? Is there an association between the enrollment of whites outside of the public school system and the academic performance of students in the public school system? Using two- and three-level hierarchical linear models, we find that school districts that have more whites in nonpublic schools tend to contain public schools with larger percentages of minority students. Further, at both the school and individual levels, achievement test scores tend to be lower in districts in which white students tend to be enrolled outside of the public school system. In addition, the achievement gap between white and minority students tends to be greater in districts with relatively more students in nonpublic schools. These findings are consistent with the argument that the withdrawal of white students from the public school system is negatively related to academic achievement because it tends to concentrate minority students in public schools.
