abstract="This article examines the effect of racial diversity on academic achievement using panel data on San Francisco's public elementary schools from 2003 to 2007. Theories argue that the relationship between racial diversity and academic achievement may be positive or negative. Few studies have examined the effect of racial diversity in US elementary schools. Fixed effects models are used to examine the relationship between racial diversity and academic performance in elementary schools. Controls for student differences and teaching staff differences are added as part of the education production function literature. <br><br>RESULTS show that racial diversity has little effect on academic achievement scores.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
