New research 🔉: Providing more school information does not, on average, reduce non-Black parents’ negative perceptions of Black schools. While school safety information slightly reduces bias for some groups, it amplifies anti-Black beliefs for others.

Social Science Research@ssreditorial.bsky.social · 2mo ago

@chantalahailey.bsky.social examines whether increased school safety information alters anti-Black school evaluations through a survey experiment with 1125 non-Black parents. Read this article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New research by Todd Hall, Jeremy Prim, @drjae.bsky.social, and me: Black families are 10 percentage points less likely to choose an otherwise high-quality school when it has large racial disparities in test scores and student discipline. Read the paper: doi.org/10.1007/s112... 1/2

Racial Disparities and Black Parents’ School Preferences: Evidence from a Survey Experiment - The Urban Review

Nearly half of Black parents have access to public school choice, but choice may not provide equitable and supportive school environments. Qualitative research documents Black parents worries that majority-White schools with more resources and higher test scores may over-discipline, underestimate, and exclude their children. Yet large-scale studies rarely examine what Black families desire in potential schools, including how they navigate potential tradeoffs between high school quality and denigrating school racial climates. This survey experiment examines the extent to which test score gaps and suspension gaps between Black students and their non-Black peers deter Black parents from choosing schools with higher overall test scores and lower overall suspension rates. We randomly assign a large, national sample of Black parents (N = 1,677) to examine a school profile vignette where the school has overall high academic achievement and low suspensions rates but includes either one, both, or neither academic and discipline gaps to assess how test score and suspension disparities affect Black parents’ school preferences and perceptions. We find that racial disparities in student discipline and academic outcomes, on average, diminish Black families’ desires to enroll in high-achievement schools and their perceptions of student belonging. These findings align with qualitative research showing that well-resourced, high-achieving schools are less appealing to Black families when they marginalize Black students and that schools’ unequal punishment of Black students shapes Black parents’ evaluations of potential educational spaces.

New Science Advances paper w/ Jennifer Candipan: Racial change doesn’t just reshape neighborhoods, it reshapes school punishment. We show Black–White suspension disparities grow in places where Black populations are changing, especially in majority White, suburban, & rural areas.

Didn't make the article but key point is, what if I told you that there was legislation in the 1800s that gave millions of dollars to HBCUs? Then what if I said it was being done to ensure that other insts never had to integrate? Now you can see what this is www.insidehighered.com/news/institu...

Excited to share my new article in @sfjournal.bsky.social ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race 1/4

📢 New article in AERAOpen I find families prioritize multiple aspects of safety—neighborhood and school violence & disorder, school climate, metal detectors—when selecting schools. Safety priorities vary by student race and academic achievement. #EdResearch #SchoolChoice #EducationPolicy 1/4

When I say they hope to overturn the Civil Rights Act I get looked at like I’ve lost my critical faculties. But here is Rufo, in the New York Times, saying they want to overturn the Civil Rights Act (and use anti-discrimination law to protect white people).
