Abstract: "Brown v. Board of Education" declared in 1954 that racially segregated schools were unequal, invalidating laws requiring segregation of black and white students in seventeen states. Since then, legal decisions have furthered racial desegregation in schools and more recent decisions have arguably impeded it. This research brief explores what is known about the importance of both racial and economic diversity in K-12 schools. The authors first review research on the benefits of racial diversity, then research about the benefits of socioeconomic status (SES) diversity. Finally, the authors examine the research findings regarding the benefits of racial diversity when accounting for SES. This review of the research suggests that both racial and SES diversity are beneficial to students, particularly low-income students and students of color, especially when within-school practices like classroom assignment ensure equal access to opportunity. The authors also find that research supports the conclusion that the benefits that flow from racial and SES diversity are not interchangeable. Policies should ensure that schools are both racially and economically diverse in order to produce maximal benefits to students and their communities.
