MURILLO, F. Javier  y  GRANA, Raquel. Incidence of School Segregation by Socioeconomic Level on Academic Performance: Uruguay´s Case. Pág. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.2, pp.96-120.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 1688-7468.  https://doi.org/10.22235/pe.v14i2.2659.

This research is proposed with a double objective: on the one hand, it seeks to determine the incidence of school segregation on the academic performance of primary school students in Uruguay in mathematics and reading; and, on the other hand, to determine the incidence of segregation by controlling the peer effect. To do this, an exploitation of the microdata of Aristas 2017 is carried out with Multilevel Models, estimating the relationship between the performance in mathematics and in reading in third and sixth grades of primary education with four characterizations of school segregation. The results confirm that school segregation by socioeconomic level clearly affects the academic performance of Uruguayan primary school students. However, controlling the peer effect, the more complex data suggest that just the school segregation of students with families with a higher socioeconomic level affects performance, and it does so in a negative way. Thus, it is concluded that segregation negatively affects all students, which is why it is urgent to take clear measures to fight segregation.
