The thesis examined segregation on pupils (N=176) mathematical achievement in ur-ban schools. The mathematical test battery was a part of Lukuseula Oy’s pilot from au-tumn 2022. The mathematical assessment was carried out on six grade students who are almost in the transition phase from primary to lower secondary school. The aim of the study was to map the segregation that takes place within the urban school setting. The analysis supported gendered mathematical achievement (p= .016) and the effect of gender was strong. The analysis, however, showed no signs of sociospatial segrega-tion on mathematical achievement. Gendered achievement should be taken seriously because it portrays as a systematic equality issue throughout the education system.
