Ikpa, Vivian W.
Educational Research Quarterly, v17 n1 p19-29 Jan 1994
Effects of the policy of mandated busing for integration on overall achievement test scores of African-American children were studied with 434 elementary school students in Norfolk (Virginia). Achievement test scores declined after the elimination of mandated busing. School characteristics explained 9% of the variance in scores for all students. (SLD)
