Racial segregation in schools that befalls not because of regulations or regulatory arrangements, but as a sequence of patterns of residential settlement, is known as the De Facto segregation. In this system, the blacks and the whites live in separate communities, neighborhood areas. For instance, the schools of inner cities are mainly populated by African-Americans, since the area serves a lower part of the town; compared with high suburban schools with less African-American students because the school area only includes costly housing, pulling well-educated children with money.
