Definition
{NoteAI} Attendance zone segregation refers to the practice of intentionally or unintentionally creating attendance zones for schools that result in the segregation of students based on their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. This can occur when attendance boundaries are drawn to concentrate students from low-income neighborhoods or racial minority groups in certain schools, while students from wealthier or predominantly white neighborhoods attend other schools. The result is a perpetuation of educational inequities and unequal access to resources and opportunities. Attendance zone segregation can contribute to the achievement gap and exacerbate social and economic disparities in society.
