Attitudes toward diversity and neighborhood schools matter because they underlie many families’ decisions for residential location, with consequences for both school systems and students. Case studies of desegregation highlight locational dynamics that influence these outcomes, but differences in theory and methods limit rigorous comparisons among residents across such areas. This study focuses on two under-researched correlates of these preferences toward school assignment models: school district location and length of residence in that district. We evaluate whether school district location and length of residence decrease support for diverse schools and increase support for neighborhood schools, net of numerous controls. We use an innovative new dataset that features opinion polling of respondents’ views of public school assignments in Raleigh, NC; Charlotte, NC; Louisville, KY; Rock Hill, SC; and Nashville, TN (5302 cases). We find that compared to having lived in a school district 7 years or less, living in that district over 15 years decreases support for diversity. Furthermore, living all one’s life in a district increases support for neighborhood schools. We also find that Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Rock Hill, and Nashville districts are less supportive of neighborhood schools than Raleigh, but that there are also interactive effects between length of residence and school district location. These results shed light on district differences in social forces leading to school resegregation.

位置,位置,位置?学区、居住时间和对上南区多元化和邻里学校的态度

对多元化和邻里学校的态度很重要,因为它们是许多家庭决定居住地点的基础,对学校系统和学生都有影响。取消种族隔离的案例研究突出了影响这些结果的位置动态,但理论和方法的差异限制了这些地区居民之间的严格比较。本研究侧重于这些偏好对学校分配模式的两个研究不足的相关因素:学区位置和在该地区的居住时间。我们评估学区位置和居住时间是否会减少对多元化学校的支持,并增加对社区学校的支持,排除众多控制。我们使用了一个创新的新数据集,该数据集对受访者对罗利公立学校作业的看法进行民意调查,数控;北卡罗来纳州夏洛特;肯塔基州路易斯维尔;罗克希尔,南卡罗来纳州;和田纳西州纳什维尔(5302 例)。我们发现,与在学区居住 7 年或更短时间相比,在该学区居住超过 15 年会降低对多样性的支持。此外,在一个地区终生生活会增加对邻里学校的支持。我们还发现,夏洛特-梅克伦堡、罗克希尔和纳什维尔地区对邻里学校的支持不如罗利,但居住时间和学区位置之间也存在互动效应。这些结果揭示了导致学校重新隔离的社会力量的地区差异。在该地区生活超过 15 年会减少对多样性的支持。此外,在一个地区终生生活会增加对邻里学校的支持。我们还发现,夏洛特-梅克伦堡、罗克希尔和纳什维尔地区对邻里学校的支持不如罗利,但居住时间和学区位置之间也存在互动效应。这些结果揭示了导致学校重新隔离的社会力量的地区差异。在该地区生活超过 15 年会减少对多样性的支持。此外,在一个地区终生生活会增加对邻里学校的支持。我们还发现,夏洛特-梅克伦堡、罗克希尔和纳什维尔地区对邻里学校的支持不如罗利,但居住时间和学区位置之间也存在互动效应。这些结果揭示了导致学校重新隔离的社会力量的地区差异。
