Is There “White Flight” into Private Schools? Evidence from the National Educational Longitudinal Survey
利用美国国家教育统计中心的保密数据，研究发现白人家庭部分出于对少数族裔学生的反应，从公立学校转向私立学校，尤其是逃离贫困少数族裔学生集中的公立学校。
Using a recently released confidential data set from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), we find some evidence of "white flight" from public schools into private schools partly in response to minority schoolchildren. We also examine whether white flight is from all minorities or only from certain minority groups, delineated by race or income. We find that white families are fleeing public schools with large concentrations of poor minority schoolchildren. In addition, the clearest flight appears to occur from poor black schoolchildren. The results for white flight from Asians and Hispanics are less clear. © 2002 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
