K–12 Schools in Ohio Are Separate and Unequal

No 2023-16, Working Papers from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: Schools are one of the main determinants of lifetime employment and wages. In the 1950s and 60s, many Black leaders were concerned that Supreme Court rulings outlawing the racial segregation of schools might not effectively eliminate school segregation. This Economic Commentary uses data from Ohio to show that, even today, Black and white students attend largely separate K–12 schools that provide unequal educational opportunity.
