Study uses Geographic
Information System (GIS) to conduct
spatial analysis of demographic
patterns in magnet school
applications.

Link data to street map
Methods: GIS geocoding at the neighborhood-level
Magnet administrators
agreed to share applicants’ street
address data (restricted access to
protect individual family confidentiality)

District-level Findings:
![Page 13: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
District-level Findings:
Hispanics were less likely than expected to
apply if they resided in Hartford and three other western districts; but more likely to apply from four eastern districts
X2 ( 3, N = 989) =
128817.59, p<. 001

Neighborhood-level Findings:
Raw data - Uneven numbers of applicants by race and tract, with more Blacks and Hispanics applying to MMS
![Page 15: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

When combined, the highest percentage of Black & Hispanic
applicants come from the North End and the South End
Neighborhood-level Findings:

Neighborhood-level Findings:
When separated, Black and Hispanic patterns emerge

Blacks living in mostly Hispanic South Side more likely to apply

Does MMS Attract all Families Equally?
![Page 22: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Does MMS Attract all Families Equally? At both the district-level and neighborhood-level, MMS
applications are not statistically representative of the racial demographics of student residences.
![Page 23: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Does MMS Attract all Families Equally? At both the district-level and neighborhood-level, MMS
applications are not statistically representative of the racial demographics of student residences.
Why do these discrepancies exist?
![Page 24: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Does MMS Attract all Families Equally? At both the district-level and neighborhood-level, MMS
applications are not statistically representative of the racial demographics of student residences.
Why do these discrepancies exist? Research needs to consider both
“creaming” (school actions to skim off top) and
“climbing” (parental actions to win advantage for their children)
![Page 25: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Does MMS Attract all Families Equally? At both the district-level and neighborhood-level, MMS
applications are not statistically representative of the racial demographics of student residences.
Why do these discrepancies exist? Research needs to consider both:
“Creaming” (school actions to skim off top) &
“Climbing” (parental actions to win advantage for their children)
Our study of application data alone cannot distinguish between factors, but both are possible.
![Page 26: Do Magnet Schools Attract All Families Equally? A GIS Mapping Analysis of Latinos](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/568150aa550346895dbebf57/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Additional limitations of the study
• Application data we received is not guaranteed to be 100 percent accurate
• Census 2000 data for neighborhood-level analysis is best available, but not recent
• Study of one magnet school is not necessarily representative of metro Hartford; should be expanded to other magnet schools
• Need more comprehensive study of “creaming” (such as magnet school marketing) and “climbing” (such as parental motivations for applying)
