  • An Analysis of Racial Trends and Segregation in the Upper Darby School District
    RESEARCH ARTICLE | EDUCATION An Analysis of Racial Trends and Segregation in the Upper Darby School District Victoria Martin Almost two-thirds of U.S. public school students currently attend schools where more than half of students are of their own race or ethnicity (1). While the famed Brown v. Board of Education looked to create an integrated school system, many studies report evidence of the policy’s failure. Scholars note that resegregation trends, in urban and suburban school districts, are worsening. This segregation crisis has attracted attention from media and policymakers as many citizens languish in low-resourced communities that feed into low-resourced schools. Much of the existing research examines segregation trends by looking between school districts for outcome differences. With that focus, there is a lack of comprehensive research that examines within-district school segregation. The purpose of this study is to contextualize Upper Darby School District’s diversification using historical information that can provide guidance for school district efforts that seek to continue the legacy of Brown and alleviate racial tensions in suburbs experiencing racial and economic change. This research found a high segregation index within the district that stems from patterns of residential segregation and results in stark outcome differences between attendance zones. The study also assesses district efforts to mend this segregation and provides policy recommendations. Gaining knowledge of historical trends in this Philadelphia suburb provides valuable information that informs the current state of school segregation experienced by districts across the United States. The Upper Darby School District (UDSD) is situated “de facto” label2, the cycle of discrimination and Black in Upper Darby Township1: a large, diverse, Mid- disadvantage is not merely a social accident, but a Atlantic suburb outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    1 Upper Darby High School Course Selection Guide School Year 2017-2018 2 COURSE ACCESSIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY No student will be denied access to courses offered at Upper Darby High School because of race, gender, physical handicap, religion, national origin, ancestry, or culture. The courses described in the following pages will only be scheduled if there is adequate student enrollment and teacher availability in each course offered. If enrollment is not sufficient or staff is unavailable, the administration reserves the right to cancel the course. Students affected by cancellation of courses will be contacted to make substitutions. The master schedule for the school is newly developed each year, based on the needs and wishes of the student body at large. The construction of the master schedule is conducted in such a way as to fulfill the requests of the maximum number of students. While every effort is made to minimize course conflicts, there is no guarantee, expressed or implied, that every student will be able to roster every request that he or she makes. Students who fail courses in the first semester can remediate them either in summer school, at a state accredited school, in an approved credit recovery program, or during the next full school year. Failed courses from semester one cannot be rostered during semester two. This is due to the fact that class sizes for second semester will have already been set. 3 PRINCIPAL’S FOREWORD Dear Students and Parents, Upper Darby High School is the oldest high school in Delaware County and one rich in tradition and history.
