In the 1970s, SFUSD tried bussing kids from one neighborhood to another, but parents hated that and many left the district altogether. Next the district tried a combination of parental choice and racial quotas, trying to find a balance between the autonomy parents craved and integration. But race-based admissions were \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/16/us/lawsuit-could-decide-future-desegregation-efforts-san-francisco-schools.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court\u003c/a> and the district had to drop the quota system altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current lottery system tries to balance parental choice with the district’s goals of integrated schools. It puts the onus of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/enroll-in-sfusd-schools/how-to-find-a-school.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">researching and visiting schools \u003c/a>on parents, who then list their choices and submit an application to the district office in person. The district prepares student files and puts them into an algorithm programmed to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/enroll-in-sfusd-schools/how-to-apply-for-school/apply-for-elementary-school.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">give priority to a few select groups\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How it works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The algorithm randomly selects a school and then looks at all the students who listed that school as a choice anywhere on their list and puts them in a pool together.

At this point in the process, some kids might have been tentatively assigned to more than one school because they had strong tiebreakers. This is when the algorithm takes into account where a school was ranked on the student’s list. It drops the child from every school except the highest-ranked choice. Now there are open spots again, which the algorithm fills from the group of kids who have not been assigned any school yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, the district built in something called a “swapping mechanism” on the advice of some economists who said it would help prevent parents from trying to “game the system.” During the swapping phase, the algorithm sees if there are any two children who could both be happier if they trade their spots. The district says the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/assets/sfusd-staff/enroll/files/Presentation_Dec_7_2017_reduced_size.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swapping mechanism affected 10 percent of Round 1 kindergarten\u003c/a> offers in the 2017-18 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all that, there are still some unlucky kids who haven’t been assigned to a school. They didn’t get any of their choices, so the district places them in a school with open spots based on proximity to their home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district sends the first-round assignments in March, at which point parents can either decide to enroll in the school they received or enter the second round of the lottery. People who miss the deadline can also enter in the second round, but the number of options is smaller because some portion of families took their first-round offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If parents still don’t get a school they are happy with after the second round, they can put their child on the waitlist for one school, in case a child enrolled there leaves. Some kids do get into their first-choice school at the last minute this way. If a child receives an offer off the waitlist, she has to take it, even if she’s already happy at a different school.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do parents feel about it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parents feel this lottery system is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/17/anxious-parents-try-to-game-system-in-san-francisco-school-lottery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overly complicated and stressful \u003c/a>to families, but for others, CTIP is the only way that their children can access better schools. Raquel Knighten lives in the Bayview, but sends her kids to Rooftop, a highly coveted school on Twin Peaks. Her two kids ride a school bus to get there every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knighten wishes the schools in her neighborhood were better, so that she didn’t feel forced to send her kids far away. She’d like the luxury other parents seem to have, choosing schools based on language programs or a focus on the arts. She’s just glad her kids aren’t going to an underperforming school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of anxiety, but I think overall, it’s a much better feeling than, ‘Your child has to go to this school.’ And you have no options,” Knighten said.

In the 1970s, SFUSD tried bussing kids from one neighborhood to another, but parents hated that and many left the district altogether. Next the district tried a combination of parental choice and racial quotas, trying to find a balance between the autonomy parents craved and integration. But race-based admissions were \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/16/us/lawsuit-could-decide-future-desegregation-efforts-san-francisco-schools.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court\u003c/a> and the district had to drop the quota system altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current lottery system tries to balance parental choice with the district’s goals of integrated schools.

At this point in the process, some kids might have been tentatively assigned to more than one school because they had strong tiebreakers. This is when the algorithm takes into account where a school was ranked on the student’s list. It drops the child from every school except the highest-ranked choice. Now there are open spots again, which the algorithm fills from the group of kids who have not been assigned any school yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, the district built in something called a “swapping mechanism” on the advice of some economists who said it would help prevent parents from trying to “game the system.” During the swapping phase, the algorithm sees if there are any two children who could both be happier if they trade their spots. The district says the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/assets/sfusd-staff/enroll/files/Presentation_Dec_7_2017_reduced_size.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swapping mechanism affected 10 percent of Round 1 kindergarten\u003c/a> offers in the 2017-18 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all that, there are still some unlucky kids who haven’t been assigned to a school. They didn’t get any of their choices, so the district places them in a school with open spots based on proximity to their home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district sends the first-round assignments in March, at which point parents can either decide to enroll in the school they received or enter the second round of the lottery. People who miss the deadline can also enter in the second round, but the number of options is smaller because some portion of families took their first-round offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If parents still don’t get a school they are happy with after the second round, they can put their child on the waitlist for one school, in case a child enrolled there leaves. Some kids do get into their first-choice school at the last minute this way. If a child receives an offer off the waitlist, she has to take it, even if she’s already happy at a different school.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do parents feel about it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some parents feel this lottery system is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/17/anxious-parents-try-to-game-system-in-san-francisco-school-lottery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overly complicated and stressful \u003c/a>to families, but for others, CTIP is the only way that their children can access better schools.

This time she gave it a chance and her son loves it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we know, look for the schools that have what you need, rather than the top 10 schools on everybody’s list,” Dobbins. She admits in her initial kindergarten search she was close-minded about what a “good” school looks like, but her experience at Cobb has taught her that lots of schools can offer a good fit. But she hasn’t changed her mind about one thing — she still hates the lottery system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a burden on every parent, and I’m amazed that more kids don’t go unenrolled,” Dobbins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other parents had a variety of opinions about the lottery. Some didn’t think it was that big a deal — just turn the forms in on time. Others, similar to Raquel Knighten, know that where they live gives them a preference in the lottery, and were weighing choices carefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mink Lincoln-Price has been very worried about how her African-American sons will fare in school. She’s watches the news and sees the reports about how schools are failing black boys. When she visits schools, she’s looking to make sure the leadership understands that this achievement gap is a problem. She wants to hear that principals are actively addressing implicit bias on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me it’s really about the academics,” Lincoln-Price said. “Of course I would like them to go to a school where they could have friends that look like them, but of course you can make friends with anybody. Because honestly if they do go to a school with a majority of the kids that look like them, most likely there won’t be any money at that school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11641267\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11641267 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-1020x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/Mink-Lincoln-Price-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mink Lincoln-Price has been visiting schools to find out how principals plan to address the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/black-student-achievement-focus-sfusd-superintendents-first-three-months-office/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">achievement gap for black boys\u003c/a>. \u003ccite>(Katrina Schwartz/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sadly, she’s right.

That could be due to the logistics of getting a child to school, but it also could be a sign some parents lack information about the various options around the city. The district makes an attempt to reach out widely with information and nonprofit groups do as well, but often parents get information from one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bilingual and Spanish-immersion programs often draw Latino families who want to be able to help their kids with homework and be able to confer with the teacher. Many parents want a school that’s close to home in case there are emergencies. And few elementary school parents are eager to put their 5-year-olds on Muni buses to attend school across town. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/transportation/school-bus-schedules.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">district runs several buses\u003c/a> on routes designed to give students more access, but seats are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/10/s-f-s-kindergarten-lottery-do-parents-tricks-work/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s analysis of 2017-2018 kindergarten assignment data \u003c/a>shows that almost 60 percent of students attend a school out of their ZIP code — so there’s a lot of moving around. But those numbers varied greatly by geography. For example, 75 percent of kids living in the Outer Richmond stayed there for school, while 87 percent of kids in the Bayview left their ZIP code. And even when students leave their ZIP code, they may not be going far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not all going across town,” said O’Keeffe. “In many cases it’s just kind of the next few neighborhoods that they’re going to school to, like the Excelsior, or Vis Valley, the Mission, stuff like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, although San Francisco’s choice system does give some kids a way out of their neighborhoods, it isn’t doing a great job of desegregating the district’s schools overall. Choice patterns are just as segregated as housing patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Choice is complex and it is time-consuming and it does create angst and it’s not currently creating diversity,” O’Keeffe said. “I do think, though, that student assignment alone will never solve for this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she says the district is committed to trying. The school board is considering a number of changes to the student assignment process, including doing away with the swapping mechanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re concerned that it’s complicated and difficult to understand and that it encourages families to list schools they don’t want as a strategy to get a choice,” O’Keeffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A choice system like this one benefits parents who have the time and wherewithal to seek out information, and the ability to have their children attend the schools they like, even if it’s a difficult commute. O’Keeffe knows this, but says there’s no easy solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got choice patterns that are racially isolated, how can choice solve it?

Language is a big part of race.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"zJ29drxbOky1XxuiX8o4DjcReM8dgXFX\"]In the Monroe library, “Goodnight Moon 1, 2, 3” is displayed next to the book “Te lo regalo!” while “The Three Little Tamales” is displayed alongside “My Friend Jamal,” with two smiling boys on the cover, one black and one white. Books in Chinese are on a nearby shelf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one third-grade Chinese bilingual classroom, the students are all Asian. Next door, the Spanish-immersion third-graders are mostly a mix of Latino and white. Just down the stairs, in the general education third-grade classroom, Asian, white, Latino and black faces glance up when a visitor walks in the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 80 percent of the students are from low-income families and two-thirds of them are English learners, the school overall exceeded the state’s benchmark of 800 points on the 1,000-point Academic Performance Index, based primarily on standardized tests. But more importantly, students across all subgroups exceeded the district average for each category. That means Asian, white and Latino students, English learners and poor students all posted higher test scores than their peers across San Francisco schools. Subgroup test scores were not available for African-American students because the number tested at Monroe was too small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no magic fix to segregation, Montaño said. What’s happening at Monroe is a good start, he said, but just a start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On paper, we look pretty diverse,” Montaño said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The playground, however, offered another picture.

In many cases, including the placement of language programs at Monroe, diversity was an unintentional positive result rather than a deliberate attempt to reduce segregation by district officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before adding a Mandarin-immersion program at Starr King Elementary in 2006, the school, located next to a public housing project on Potrero Hill, was predominantly black and Latino and under-enrolled in the school’s traditional general education program. With the Chinese-language program in place, the school has doubled enrollment and is more diverse: 27 percent Asian, 19 percent white, 18 percent Latino and 17 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so many empty classrooms, it was in danger of being closed, said board member Shamann Walton. It is now full and has become the most diverse school in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A quality program did make that school change,” he said. “Just imagine if we did some of the same things with schools in the Bayview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Magnet Programs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several districts across the country have taken the idea a step further, using a regional approach to magnet programs to make schools more diverse across city and suburban lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools in the St. Louis area are among them. There, 4,500 students from the city, where students are predominantly African-American, take buses into the suburbs for school in a voluntary transfer program. A much smaller number of students, 130, bus from the suburbs to 24 specialty magnet schools in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the racial makeup of suburban schools varies, the program’s results are not uniform. Enrollment in Rockwood School District, in St. Louis’ western suburbs, for example, is now about 10 percent African-American, compared with the 2 percent that might have been enrolled without the voluntary transfer program, said David Glaser, the chief executive officer of the Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corp., which oversees the desegregation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10530503\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/002_Schools0518-e1431982646197.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10530503\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/002_Schools0518-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Spanish-immersion second-graders Deven Finnemore and Lia Palma read together at Monroe Elementary School in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, April 29, 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spanish-immersion second-graders Deven Finnemore and Lia Palma read together at Monroe Elementary School in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. \u003ccite>(San Francisco Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s substantially more integrated. Is it as diverse as the overall population in the world? In some districts, it is and in some districts, not as much,” Glaser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a Connecticut Supreme Court ruling in 1996, Hartford created a system that allows students in the city and the outlying suburbs to transfer to one another’s schools. The students are lured to schools far from home, thanks to a big state investment in regional, high-quality, subject-specific magnet schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them, the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering, was rated the 15th-best high school in the country last year by U.S. News and World Report. Other magnet schools specialize in early reading, science and technology, environmentalism, performing arts, journalism and medicine. Seats are awarded through a lottery system, and some busing is provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, the state reported that half of Hartford students were attending integrated schools, meaning less than three-quarters of a school’s population are minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, the district takes another approach. In response to the 1996 passage of Proposition 209, which prohibits public institutions from considering race in education and hiring decisions, Berkeley Unified now divides the city into three broad attendance zones. Within those, the city is further divvied up into areas of four to eight blocks apiece, each of which is given a diversity rating depending on its racial makeup, income and education levels. The diversity scores range from 1 (more disadvantaged) to 3 (more advantaged).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can choose which elementary school to send their child to as long as each school’s percentage of category 1, 2 and 3 students is close to those percentages for the whole attendance zone. If a school’s diversity mix is askew, open seats are given to students who would help achieve balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s 11 elementary schools are diverse, closely mirroring the district’s overall racial demographics. None of them has 50 percent or more of any one race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades in San Francisco, education officials have relied almost exclusively on the student assignment system in one way or another to diversify schools, but success stories like Monroe and Starr King show that it needs a closer look at alternatives, school board members said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bolder Action Urged\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district needs to be bolder, they said, noting they need to take a harder look at putting programs in schools — language programs, music programs, art programs — to draw families to segregated or unpopular schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board has also considered giving “golden tickets” to entice families to choose certain schools — perhaps first choice in enrollment at city high schools, which they offered as an enrollment incentive at the new Willie Brown Middle School in the city’s less popular Bayview neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am interested in us looking more to those strategies,” board member Jill Wynns said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A school in Lower Pacific Heights is already on the school board’s radar as a possible option for a new magnet program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cobb Elementary now occupies a newly renovated building painted a deep schoolhouse red with bright white window frames. The school is 63 percent black and Latino and severely under-enrolled with 180 students. There is room for up to 170 more, despite its centralized location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superintendent Richard Carranza said the school could accommodate a new program to diversify and increase enrollment. One suggestion is to relocate Clarendon Elementary’s Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program to Cobb, which would also increase the number of neighborhood seats at Clarendon, which are in high demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clarendon families in the Japanese program are already pushing back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re satisfied with the idea that some schools are not that attractive for some people,” said school board member Matt Haney. “It’s a huge disparity in our district, and the choice patterns are often by race.
