The dissimilarity index measures the extent to which one racial/ethnic group is segregated from all others. For example, in 2010-11, 67 percent of white elementary students in the city would have to move to another school in order to be perfectly integrated throughout the system. • At all grade levels, Asian students now experience more segregation while Hispanic students experience less, in line with citywide trends. • Citywide, census measures show that blacks and whites face slightly less segregation since 2000, however, school level changes for these groups varied by school type. • With the exception of Asian elementary school students, in all cases schools are less segregated than the citywide population under age 18. • Regardless of year and racial or ethnic group, high schools are the least segregated environment and elementary schools the most segregated.
