-
A major purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of desegregation on the Florida Statewide Twelfth Grade Achievement Test scores of black and white high school seniors in a rural and an urban Florida county. One thousand, four hundred sixteen students, all high school seniors, were divided into eight groups for this study. The groups were based on race, residence and school type. Group I consisted of 37 rural black segregated senior high school students; Group II included 151 rural white segregated senior high school students; Group III included 127 urban black segregated senior high school students; Group IV included 493 urban white segregated students; Group V consisted of 93 urban black desegregated students; Group VI included 52 rural black desegregated students; Group VII included 334 urban white desegregated senior high school students and Group VIII included 129 rural white desegregated senior high school students. The schools were divided into four categories: (1) urban segregated, (2) rural segregated, (3) urban desegregated and (4) rural desegregated. The desegregated rural and urban schools were selected from schools that were segregated during 1962 but were desegregated in 1970. School A was a rural black segregated school. School B was a rural white segregated school. School C was an urban black segregated school and School D was an urban white segregated school. Schools B and D were desegregated in 1970 and were used for the 1973 data. Analyses of variance of the data revealed significant differences between black and white students' test scores, urban and rural students' test scores and segregated and desegregated students' test scores. The differences were favorable toward white urban desegregated students' test scores.
