A joint team of researchers from RUSD and the University of California, Riverside conducted a study in February, 1966 to evaluate the effects of integration on children attending public schools, focusing on their emotional adjustment and academic achievement. The study was also done to enable Riverside public schools to provide better educational opportunities for their students and produce guidelines on integration for administrators nationwide. 1,736 children in the entire school district were chosen for the study, which lasted for six years.
