Race and the Reproduction of Educational Disadvantage
Abstract
Research has uncovered many mechanisms that exacerbate racial inequalities in achievement. Due to specialization within the field, however, little focus has been devoted to the multitiered and often interconnected institutional nature of these processes. Matching data from the restricted-use National Educational Longitudinal Survey and the Common Core of Data, I hierarchically model the influence of family/peer and educational institutional processes simultaneously on the black-white gap in achievement. The modeling strategy used offers a more comprehensive understanding of the reproductive interinstitutional dynamics at work, suggesting strong linkages between family/peer group attributes and access to educational resources. I conclude by suggesting the need to extend this line of inquiry a step further still, developing a theoretically driven contextual and spatial understanding of educational opportunity and achievement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
