In coordination with the National Coalition on School Diversity, Magnet Schools of America has promoted this action and also recommends that states include racial and
socioeconomic integration goals in their accountability systems.
This indicates that while there are many reasons why school districts and states might want to seek to integrate relatively advantaged and relatively disadvantaged students within the same school, it appears unlikely that a policy
goal of reducing the test score gap between students in these groups will be realized through further
socioeconomic integration (at least once there gets to be the degree of
socioeconomic integration necessary to be part of this study to begin with).
