- W103498232 abstract "Most people who leave the central cities for the suburbs cite three main reasons for their move: crime, the quality of life, and the quality of the public schools. have been getting the upper hand on crime in recent years, while redevelopment efforts have made many central city neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. But it will be necessary to restore all three aspects of city life before central cities can hope to reverse the exodus of middle class families. Good schools are the lifeblood of our cities, says education researcher Denis Doyle, the schools and we save our cities. Young families with children are the demographic group that is fleeing the central cities in the highest numbers. people leaving the city are those the city needs most to retain its vitality, namely, working- and middle-class families with says Doyle. Cities that lose families with children are in trouble. Most cities are trying to fix their schools with more of the same ingredients that have already failed-more money and greater centralized control. It is time, Doyle argues, to try school choice as an urban renewal strategy instead. The evidence in favor of such a strategy is growing. A Calvert Institute survey of people who had moved out of Baltimore, for example, found that among families with school-age children, the poor quality of the schools was a primary reason to leave for more than half of them. 82 percent expressed some dissatisfaction with the Baltimore public school system. Perhaps most significant is the finding that of those who cited poor schools as a reason for leaving Baltimore, 51 percent might have stayed in the central city if full school choice were available. Urban scholars David P. Varady and Jeffrey A. Raffel, authors of Selling Cities: Attracting Homebuyers Through Schools and Housing Programs, offer corroborating evidence. Varady and Raffel note that Cincinnati has been more successful than other Ohio cities in stemming the exodus of middle class families because it embraced magnet schools instead of forced-busing to achieve desegregation. But even more significant, Varady and Raffel think, has been the role of Catholic parochial schools. Catholic schools are important for the city because they serve as 'neighborhood anchors,' they write. [Catholic] schools serve to promote a high quality of life, particularly for parents who are neighborhood-oriented. St. Catherine School and Nativity School are examples of quality schools that are helping to maintain racially integrated neighborhoods. Some of the early experiences of pilot school choice programs in central city neighborhoods are encouraging. …" @default.
