Across the country, most public school students live in racially concentrated school districts where most white students live in predominantly white districts and most Black students live in predominantly Black districts. School district boundaries fuel racial inequalities in access to educational opportunities by perpetuating the link between residential segregation and school segregation. These divisions shuffle some students into districts with well-resourced, opportunity-rich schools and others into districts with fewer resources, shaping the trajectory of students’ lives.
