The Benefits of Sending Children to Early Neighborhood Schools
In a new study from the University of Chicago, researchers studied the effects of attending different types of schools on children’s academic and social development. The study found that children who attend a school within their own neighborhood tend to have higher academic achievement and better social skills than those who attend a school outside of their neighborhood. The researchers also found that children who attend a school close to home are more likely to be involved in their community, while children who attend schools farther away from home are more likely to experience social isolation. This research shows that attending a school in one’s own neighborhood can have positive impacts on children’s academic and social development.
