Description
This study has confined itself to examining two specific questions:
(1) Are other minorities educationally isolated to the same extent
as Negroes? and (2) Does the level of concentration of other minorities
in the school population influence their segregation as has
been the case for Negroes? Results of the present study show
Negroes to fare significantly less favorably in the area of educational
segregation than the other minorities under study. Furthermore,
whereas the percent Negro showed a significant relationship
with the level of Negro school segregation, no such relationship
was found for the other minorities in this study. Controlling for
regional and ethnic variations did not significantly alter these
findings.
