The authors estimate racial/ethnic achievement gaps in several hundred metropolitan areas and several thousand school districts in the United States using the results of roughly 200 million standardized math and English language arts (ELA) tests administered to public school students from 2009 to 2013. They show that achievement gaps vary substantially, ranging from nearly zero in some places to larger than 1.5 standard deviations in others. Economic, demographic, segregation, and schooling characteristics explain 43%–72% of the geographic variation in these gaps. The strongest correlates of achievement gaps are local racial/ethnic differences in parental income and educational attainment, local average parental education levels, and patterns of racial/ethnic segregation, consistent with a theoretical model in which family socioeconomic factors affect educational opportunity partly through residential and school segregation patterns.

种族/民族考试成绩差距的地理分布

作者使用从 2009 年到 2013 年对公立学校学生进行的大约 2 亿次标准化数学和英语语言艺术 (ELA) 测试的结果,估计了美国数百个大都市区和数千个学区的种族/民族成就差距。他们表明成就差距差异很大,从一些地方的接近零到其他地方大于 1.5 的标准偏差。经济、人口、种族隔离和学校教育特征解释了这些差距中 43%–72% 的地理差异。成就差距的最强相关性是父母收入和教育程度的当地种族/民族差异、当地平均父母教育水平以及种族/民族隔离模式,
