The purpose of this study is to identify the spatial distribution of HISD pre-kindergarten (pre-k) programs across the district and better understand how program location may be associated with access and equity issues around pre-k. Our goal is to evaluate the extent to which families have nearby options for public pre-k and examine whether this accessibility is the same for students of all sociodemographic backgrounds. This is the first in a four-part series of research briefs regarding student access to and utilization of HISD pre-k programs, with subsequent briefs examining possible ways to increase access to HISD pre-k programs and the relationship between access and utilization (Brief 2), the ways in which parents make decisions about pre-k programs for their children (Brief 3), and the relationship between access to HISD pre-k and student outcomes at kindergarten entry (Brief 4).
