This study examines whether moving from decentralized enrollment processes to UE mitigates or exacerbates racial segregation that often occurs in choice systems. Specifically, we examine a subset of charter schools in New Orleans that had enrolled disproportionately high numbers of White students prior to entering UE. We find that UE entry was associated with increased enrollment of non-White students in these schools without offsetting declines in White enrollment, facilitated by schools also increasing total enrollment after entering UE. We find no meaningful impacts of UEon school accountability measures, student or teacher mobility, or student discipline.  \nKEYWORDS: unified enrollment systems, school reform, school choice, segregation  \nIntroduction  \nAdvocates of market-based education reforms argue that schools operate more efficiently and serve families more effectively when schools must compete to attract families to enroll.

This prominent role for school-choosing parents results in a corresponding ‘‘decentering [of] the state’’ as governments cede control to the market (Fuller, 2000) . This suggests that the outcomes of market-based reforms depend partly on what families want for their children relative to what they would get in a more traditional, government-run school system. If families want their children to attend schools that are more diverse than their local neighborhoods, we might expect market-based reforms to reduce the high levels of racial and economic segregation that harm many U.S. students (Reardon et al., 2021) . In practice, however, school choice reforms are often associated with increases in school segregation (Bifulco & Ladd, 2007; Logan & Burdick-Will, 2016; Monarrez et al., 2022; Weiher & Tedin, 2002) . This brings into question whether school choice reforms are an effective pathway to integration or a diversion from more promising strategies (Roda & Wells, 2013; Scott & Holme, 2016) .  \nIn this study, we examine whether the design of choice systems can contribute to the","cbCaitnUY2zQlmSO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitnUY2zQlmSO","pdf",765103,"English","# Introduction\n# Effects of Unified School Enrollment Systems\n## School demographics and racial segregation\n## Student and teacher mobility\n## Accountability and student discipline","[{\"question\":\"What is the main question of the study on unified enrollment systems?\",\"answer\":\"The study asks whether shifting from decentralized enrollment to unified enrollment mitigates or worsens racial segregation that often arises in school choice systems.\"},{\"question\":\"What enrollment changes did unified enrollment produce in the New Orleans charter schools studied?\",\"answer\":\"UE entry was associated with increased enrollment of non-White students without offsetting declines in White enrollment, helped by schools increasing total enrollment after entering UE.\"},{\"question\":\"Did unified enrollment significantly affect accountability measures or student outcomes like discipline?\",\"answer\":\"The study reports no meaningful impacts of UE on school accountability measures, student or teacher mobility, or student discipline.\"}]","The Effects of Unified School Enrollment Systems on School Demographics and Outcomes - Evidence From New Orleans’ Transition to a Centralized School Lottery | PDF",1792071556,101]
