Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Race and social class have persisted in shaping the academic opportunities of US young people as they progress through the educational system, and the mechanisms of the process have largely defied explanation. This paper investigates a key mechanism, second generation segregation or the effects of within school segregation according to race in core academic courses on students’ academic achievement and the race gap in achievement at the end of high school. Newly available nationally representative longitudinal data from the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement study, which augments the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) with students’ high school transcripts. The effects of school segregation on how far students progress in math and science courses, and on whether they graduate from high school are estimated. Results indicate that course segregation along racial lines within schools, is associated with lower achievement of minority student and with an larger race gap in academic outcomes in those schools. Implications and future research areas are discussed.
