DEMOGRAPHICS
In the 2017-18 school year, there were about 12,284 students in District 18. 1.3% of the student population identified as Asian, 87.8% identified as Black, 7.2% identified as Hispanic, and 2.0% identified as white. The average Economic Needs Index (ENI) was 0.68 and 10.3% of students were in temporary housing. Additionally, 40.7% of public elementary school students attended charter schools and 59.3% attended traditional public schools.
RACIAL/ETHNIC DIVERSITY IN SCHOOLS
In the 2017-18 school year, 1.5% of all public elementary school students attended Black-Hispanic schools, 0% attended other categories of racially/ethnically diverse schools, and 98.5% of students attended predominantly one-group schools. These patterns varied by racial/ethnic group. Asian students were most likely to attend predominately Black schools, Black students were most likely to attend predominately Black schools, Hispanic students were most likely to attend predominately Black school, and white students were most likely to attend predominately Black schools.
Furthermore, predominately Black schools had, on average, the highest share of students in temporary housing while predominately Black schools had the lowest (10.3% and 10.3% respectively). Black-Hispanic schools had the highest ENI (0.69) and predominately Black schools had the lowest ENI (0.68).
THE STABILITY OF RACIALLY/ETHNICALLY DIVERSE SCHOOLS
District 18 did not have any racially/ethnically diverse schools, per our definitions, in the 2005-06 school year. As a result, we are unable to provide further information on the stability of racially/ethnically diverse schools between the 2005-06 school year and the 2017-18 school year.
