Bridging the educational gap.

Like many other American cities, Chicago experiences widespread racial and income inequalities. Although the overall population is evenly racially divided, 18 neighborhoods in Chicago, with most in the South Side, are over 90% black.1 Recent studies have also found that Chicago’s white households are wealthier than the national average, while black households have substantially less wealth than the national average.1 A central theme in the literature is that economic reform in Chicago in the 1980s-1990s led to a drain in investment in lowerincome, non-white neighborhoods, including social infrastructure such as schools and public transportation.2 In order to study the result of this trend , I will examine the association between high school racial and socioeconomic student demographics and respective student attendance and graduation outcomes across 49 neighborhood high schools in Chicago. I will also study the role of Chicago Transit Authority(CTA) Rail Stations in bridging the gap in educational outcomes across high schools with differing racial and socioeconomic demographics, and map locations for new CTA Rail Stations to optimally do so.
