  • An Analysis of Racial Trends and Segregation in the Upper Darby School District

    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.

We have included information about academic programs, practices, and procedures, as well as information about our departmental course offerings and the course selection process. It is now time for students who will attend Penncrest next year to choose their courses for 2020-2021. The Guide has been designed to assist students in this process. We urge all students to refer to the Guide when selecting their courses and to consult with their counselors, teachers, and families. Our high school program permits a variety of course choices. We cannot overstate the importance of students’ taking the time to choose their courses carefully and choose course alternates with care. Scheduling (including staffing, course placement, and section numbers) is based on pupils’ course selections. As a result, we cannot be optimistic about honoring significant change requests once the selections have been submitted and tallied. It is, therefore, in each student’s best interests that decisions regarding course options be thoughtful and firm. Selecting your courses wisely will make next year a productive one for you at Penncrest!

    At a Meeting at Lima, June 20, 1952, Dr. Carl Leech Proposed a Seven District Jointure As Recommended in the Survey Made by the Pennsylvania Economy League

    At a meeting at Lima, June 20, 1952, Dr. Carl Leech proposed a seven district jointure as recommended in the survey made by the Pennsylvania Economy League. The purpose of the jointure was to provide a unified administration to carry out common objectives and policies in the school program, kindergarten through twelfth grade. On July 15, 1952, Dr. Leech set forth plans for the jointure to include Media, Chester Heights, Bethel, Concord, Edgmont, Middletown, and Upper Providence. Members of the Jointure Committee were to be Leedom Tuckerman, Media; William Willits, Concord; George W. Feldman, Bethel; Harold Hormann, Edgmont; Robert F. Engle, Middletown; John Burkland, Upper Providence; Mrs. Oleta Ramage, Supervising Principal, Concord; Dr. Fred Tanger, Superintendent, Media; J. Earl Mast, Supervising Principal, Middletown; and Donald Snively, Supervising Principal, Upper Providence. At this July meeting, Dr. Leech called attention to a chart which indicated that the population of the area according to the 1950 census was 21,934: 1,960 were of elementary school age, 672 of junior high school age, and 484 of senior high school age. The projected school figures for 1956 were 1,030 junior high pupils and 763 senior high pupils. As the seven‐district committee studied the cost of a new high school, lack of accord among the members of the committee became increasingly apparent, and Upper Providence went on record as favoring a jointure with Middletown even if the other five districts failed to reach an agreement. On April 21, 1953, at Media High School, the master agreement involving 2,600 pupils in seven districts was signed.

    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.
