Abstract | Urban districts are important places to observe the array of non-traditional schooling options in which high school students can be educated. We examined enrollment distributions in 1 traditional and 3 different types of alternative high schools in 1 urban school district. We coded all high schools in the sample district into 4 school types including traditional, innovative, behavior-focused, and academic remediation-focused. We analyzed demographic data of all high school students enrolled in the sample school district for gender, ethnicity, qualification for free or reduced-price lunch, and disability status. Results showed overrepresentation of male students, Black students, American Indian students, students who qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and students with disabilities in behavior-focused alternative schools. Hispanic students were overrepresented in academic remediation-focused alternative schools. These findings suggest disparate enrollment practices among urban traditional and alternative high schools.
