The Role of Advanced-Level Mathematics Course Availability and Gentrification in Latinx High School Mathematics Course-Taking
Fri, April 14, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 4, Sheraton Ballroom IIAbstract
This study investigates one of the structural processes that affect secondary enrollment in advanced level mathematics courses – course availability. Districts and schools control which courses they offer and therefore, access to high quality advanced-level mathematics courses is partially under the control of education agencies. These districts and schools are a product of their neighborhoods and residential segregation. Historically divested neighborhoods have lower advanced level course availability (Owens, 2020), and schools in gentrifying neighborhoods have been found to offer special and advanced programs to attract the gentry (Stillman, 2012). The findings from this study will affect policies guiding advanced-level mathematics course availability in secondary public schools.
