NEWS RELEASE

The decision of where to send a child for their K-12 education is a big one. According to new research from Rice sociologists, approximately one-third of parents in their Dallas-based study make the call based on their own experiences in the classroom. This method of decision making can exacerbate racial segregation and “white flight” from city schools, the research revealed.
