This monograph examines changes in the American public school
population from 1900 to 2010. It shows how different historical
periods have affected the composition of the student body and have
posed important challenges to those involved in shaping educational
policy. The author first develops an analytical framework that
merges education and applied demography concepts. The education
concepts include attendance, promotion, retention, high school
graduation, and college enrollment. While, the applied demography
concepts take into account size, distribution, and composition. He
then applies this framework to the four most recent American
historical periods: the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, the
Post WWII Era, and the Post 1983 Era. Readers will come to
understand the changing socio-demographic profile of American
schools due to such factors as immigration from Europe, child labor
laws, internal migration, greater fertility and the rise of the
Baby Boom generation, the changing status of women and minorities,
the urban crises, rising social inequality, the 2008 recession, and
globalization. Featuring both historical and current data, this
volume clearly shows how demographic change affects the teaching
and learning environment, education policy, funding, and school
segregation. Overall, it offers insightful analysis that may help
shape the future of American education.
