Public School Impact
|
This study finds that Milwaukee public schools subject to competition from vouchers made greater academic gains than similar public schools not facing competition, and schools exposed to a greater level of school choice made greater gains than schools less exposed to school choice. Schools where a high level of students were eligible for school choice made annual gains greater than those of the control group by 3 percentile points per year in math, 5 points per year in science, 3 points per year in language, and 3 points per year in social studies. These are annual gains that accumulate over time.
