Abstract
⺠We examine the relationship between school quality and health. ⺠We focus on segregated schools in the South attended by black students during the mid-1900s. ⺠We find that school quality enhances the effects of educational attainment on health. ⺠Measures of health affected are self-rated health, smoking, obesity, and mortality.
