“…In contrast, other researchers find that that school transfers, charter schools, and private schools may be used to avoid contact between relatively privileged students and students of less privileged races and socioeconomic classes, thereby increasing class and racial segregation within school districts (DeSena, 2006;Fairlie, 2002;Renzulli & Evans, 2005;Saporito, 2003;Saporito & Sohoni, 2006). Further, students who take advantage of non-neighborhood public school choice options tend to be more educated (Witte & Thorn, 1996), have higher incomes, and are more likely to have employed parents compared to students within the same school or school district who do not avail themselves of these options (Henig, 1995;Martinez, Godwin, & Kemerer, 1996;Smrekar & Goldring, 1999).…”

“…The cross-sectional data available to us were insufficient to determine causeand-effect relationships between social organization factors and substance use. Individual-level self-reported data is generally reliable (Gruenewald & Johnson, 2006), but because our study included only public school students, the sample may lack representative numbers of wealthier children frequently enrolled in private school (Saporito & Sohoni, 2007). Our model included, importantly, a sound measure of alcohol availability.…”

Employing school catchment areas (SCAs) to represent communities in Alabama, this study hypothesized that student substance use would be most prevalent where structural disadvantages were most numerous and school-and community-bestowed encouragement of or rewards for students' prosocial behaviors were scant. We employed data from the 2000 census and a secondary data set produced by the Alabama Department of Mental Health. Overall, we observed significant, strong effects on student substance use wielded by the community's and school's protective roles. Our results confirmed location as an explanatory factor, in that substance use in one community affected substance use in neighboring communities.

ResumenEsta investigación busca estimar la magnitud del efecto de la segregación escolar socioeconómica, étnico-cultural y por procedencia inmigrante/nativo de los países de América Latina. Para ello, se realiza una explotación especial de la base de datos del Tercer estudio regional comparativo y explicativo, TERCE, del Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación, LLECE (2013), de la Oficina Regional de Educación para América Latina y el Caribe de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura, OREALC/UNESCO, para estimar el índice de disimilitud a una muestra de 105.847 estudiantes de educación primaria en 5.733 escuelas de 15 países. Los resultados indican que la segregación escolar es muy alta en el conjunto de países de América Latina. La segregación escolar promedio por nivel socioeconómico es de 0,56, de carácter étnico es de 0,92, y por procedencia inmigrante/nativo de 0,80. Palabras claveSegregación escolar; estatus socioeconómico; población indígena; inmigrante; América Latina; educación básica Transferencia a la prácticaLa presente investigación pone en la agenda educativa la grave situación de segregación escolar socioeconómica, étnico-cultural y por procedencia inmigrante/nativo que se da en los países de América Latina. A partir de su cuantificación y denuncia, este estudio aporta ideas para acabar con la segregación escolar, como la dotación diferenciada de presupuesto para que las escuelas situadas en entornos más desfavorecidos cuenten con mejores recursos y medios, o el diseño de políticas educativas que garanticen la igualdad de oportunidades en el acceso a la escuela y de selección de centro.Para citar este artículo / To cite this article / Pour citer cet article / Para citar este artigo Transfer to practiceThis research places on the educational agenda the serious situation of socioeconomic, ethnic-cultural and immigrant/native school segregation that occurs in Latin America. Based on its quantification and denunciation, this study provides ideas for ending school segregation, such as differentiated budget allocation so that schools located in more disadvantaged areas get better resources and means, or the design of educational policies that guarantee Equal opportunities in access to school and center selection.
