Abstract	Students in racially and socioeconomically integrated schools experience academic, cognitive, and social benefits that are not available to students in racially isolated, high-poverty environments. As Americans consider the consequences of an education system that increasingly sorts students by race and class, it is also important to recognize the efforts of school districts and charter schools that are attempting to find another path. In this report, the authors highlight the work that ninety-one school districts and charter schools across the country are doing to promote socioeconomic and racial integration by considering socioeconomic factors in student assignment policies. The report begins with background on school segregation, and the remedying role that integration strategies based on socioeconomic status can play. Building on research that The Century Foundation (TCF) has released throughout the past decade, the report then presents the latest inventory of school districts and charter schools that are using socioeconomic integration strategies--outlining the methodology, examining the characteristics of the districts and charters included, and explaining the main types of integration methods encountered. The efforts of these districts and charter schools range in size and strategy, but their stories all provide hope in the continuing push for integration and equity.
