School choice expansion in recent decades has weakened the strong link between neighborhoods and schools created under a strict residence-based school assignment system, decoupling residential and school enrollment decisions for some families. Recent work suggests that the neighborhood-school link is weakening the most in neighborhoods experiencing gentrification. Using a novel combination of individual, school, and neighborhood data that link children to both assigned and enrolled schools, this study examines family, school, and neighborhood factors that shape whether parents enroll in the assigned local school. I find that parents are more likely to opt out of neighborhood schools in gentrifying neighborhoods compared with non-gentrifying neighborhoods when nearby choice options are available. Recent movers to gentrifying neighborhoods bypass local schools more compared with parents who have lived in the neighborhood longer. Results have implications for thinking about neighborhood-school linkages in an era of school choice and urban change.

近几十年来，学校选择范围的扩大削弱了在严格的以居住为基础的学校分配制度下建立的社区与学校之间的紧密联系，使某些家庭的居住和入学决定脱钩。最近的工作表明，社区与学校之间的联系在经历高级化的社区中最弱。这项研究结合了个人，学校和邻里数据的新颖组合，将孩子与指定学校和就读学校联系起来，研究了家庭，学校和邻里因素，这些因素决定了父母是否在指定当地学校就读。我发现，与附近的非绅士化社区相比，父母有更多选择退出绅士化社区的邻里学校的机会。与住在附近社区的父母相比，最近迁徙到高档化社区的人更多地绕过了当地学校。结果对思考在学校选择和城市变革的时代中邻里与学校之间的联系产生了影响。
