Patterns of Urban Student Mobility and Local School Reform.
Kerbow, David
Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v1 n2 p147-69 1996
Describes urban school instability in Chicago public elementary schools and explores its causes, namely residential mobility and school-related reasons. The impact of mobility on students, schools, and urban education is also examined. It indicates that improved schools lose their accomplishments as students transfer, and mobile students forfeit the benefit of continuity of school services. (GR)
