Multigroup school segregation refers to the practice of segregating students based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status in multiple ways within a school system. This could involve tracking or ability grouping students, creating separate programs or schools for certain populations, or assigning students to different schools based on their background. Multigroup school segregation can exacerbate existing inequalities and perpetuate segregation in education. It can also impact students' opportunities for academic achievement, social integration, and overall well-being. Efforts to address multigroup school segregation often involve policies and programs aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools.
