Abstract

70 years after Brown v Board of Education, this study finds that not only is segregation pervasive in one large, Latino-majority western school district, but that schools are frequently triple segregated by race, class, and language, representing concentrations of privilege and marginalization that afford vastly disparate resources and outcomes to the students therein. By employing a QuantCrit framework, this study investigates the students, school contexts, and achievement of segregated schools to speak to policymakers and drive a public conversation about the continued need to push for educational reforms lest the harms of segregation recognized 70 years ago continue today unabated.
