This project began as part of a larger study of charter schools in rural areas in Pennsylvania supported by Center for Rural Pennsylvania.

All opinions are solely those of the authors.  \nAbstract: Using individual-level student data from Pennsylvania, this study explores the extent to which charter school racial composition may be an important factor in students’self-segregative school choices. Findings indicate that, holding distance and enrollment constant, Black and Latino students are strongly averse to moving to charter schools with higher percentages of White students. Conversely, White students are more likely to enroll in such charter schools. As the percentage and number of students transferring into charter schools increases, self-segregative school choices raise critical questions regarding educational equity, and the effects of educational reform and school choice policies on the fostering of racially diverse educational environments.  \nKeywords: charter schools; racial segregation; educational equity; diversity; school reform  \nLa exploración de la elección de escuela y los consequências para la segregación racial de los estudiantes dentro de las transferencias escuelas charter de Pennsylvania Resumen: El uso de datos de los estudiantes a nivel individual de Pennsylvania, este estudio explora la medida en la composición racial escuela autónoma que puede ser un factor importanteen la selección de escuelas auto-segregadora de los alumnos.
