The text discusses a study in which African American families in poor neighborhoods were given a chance to move to a better neighborhood. In comparison to children whose families moved instead to another poor neighborhood, the children in families who moved to a better neighborhood:
◦ were more likely to have poorer attendance
◦ were more likely to get into more "race-based" school fights
◦ were more likely to have difficulty in forming a secure ethnic identity
◦ had higher achievement test scores
