Student turnover has many negative consequences for students and schools, and the high mobility rates of disadvantaged students may exacerbate inequality. Scholars have advised schools to reduce mobility by building and improving relationships with and among families, but such efforts are rarely tested rigorously. A cluster-randomized field experiment in 52 predominantly Hispanic elementary schools in San Antonio, TX, and Phoenix, AZ, tested whether student mobility in early elementary school was reduced through Families and Schools Together (FAST), an intervention that builds social capital among families, children, and schools. FAST failed to reduce mobility overall but substantially reduced the mobility of Black students, who were especially likely to change schools. Improved relationships among families help explain this finding.
学生流动对学生和学校有许多负面影响，弱势学生的高流动率可能会加剧不平等。学者们建议学校通过与家庭建立并改善关系来降低流动率，但此类努力很少经过严格检验。在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市和亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市的52所主要为西班牙裔的小学进行的一项整群随机实地实验，测试了小学低年级阶段的学生流动是否能通过“家庭与学校携手共进”（FAST）计划得以减少，该计划旨在在家庭、儿童和学校之间建立社会资本。总体而言，FAST未能降低流动率，但大幅降低了黑人学生的流动率，这些学生尤其容易转学。家庭关系的改善有助于解释这一发现。
