Allensworth 2005¶

Allensworth, E. (2005). Graduation and Dropout Trends in Chicago: A look at cohorts of students from 1991 through 2004, Report Highlights.

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Cohort trend analysis disaggregated by race/ethnicity over 1991–2004 cohorts. The brief reports a differential-improvement contrast between "African-American students" and "other groups of students," with no effect size printed.

"Over the past seven years, African-American students showed less improvement in graduation and dropout rates than other groups of students."

Allensworth 2005 (2)¶

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Community-area analysis of graduation and dropout trends across Chicago's 77 community areas. The report frames the South Side–North Side contrast as consistent with residential racial segregation; Figure 4 maps community areas by percent graduated by age 18.

"Consistent with Chicago's racially segregated neighborhoods, the report finds that communities on Chicago's mostly African-American South Side saw less improvement in graduation and dropout rates than did North Side communities."
