This article is a review of research on how much the life chances of children are affected by the socioeconomic and racial mix of their schools and neighborhoods. The social mix of a high school has little effect on students' chances of attending college or on white students' academic achievement. Evidence about the effect of the socioeconomic mix of schools or neighborhoods on achievement of elementary school students, on graduation rates of high school students, on teenage crime, and on early labor market experience is weak. Growing up in poor neighborhoods seems to increase black teenage pregnancy rates.
这是一篇关于研究儿童的生活机会受到学校和社区的社会经济和种族混合程度影响的综述。高中的社会混合对学生上大学的机会或白人学生的学业成绩几乎没有影响。关于学校或社区的社会经济混合对小学生的成绩、高中生的毕业率、青少年犯罪和早期劳动力市场经验的影响的证据很薄弱。在贫困社区长大似乎会增加黑人青少年的怀孕率。
