Abstract
The authors argue that educational redlining, like redlining practices in housing markets, occurs in schools that use standardized test results to determine eligibility for academic programs. This discriminatory practice, which reduces education equity and increases academic segregation along the lines of racial and socioeconomic status within schools, must end.
