| Abstract | The decisions parents make regarding their children's education are not based solely on the academic quality of the school. Therefore, initiating a parental-choice educational program will not necessarily improve the overall level of education that American children are currently receiving. An area of concern is children who are economically disadvantaged: children who attend schools in lower income, innercity areas. These children will be affected the most by a parental choice program, though whether the effects would be adverse or beneficial is unclear at this point. A total of 39 lower, lower/middle, and upper/middle class white families were interviewed in 1984, and again in 1985. Special areas of study were (1) differences in enrollment patterns among neighborhoods; (2) similarities/differences in parental perceptions of academic quality among schools; (3) other parental criteria in school enrollment decisions; and (4) factors influencing enrollment outcomes. The school environment, both internal and external, plays a vital role in enrollment decisions, as do education-related costs, parents' childhood educational experiences, and community support.
