The impact of Florida’s “A+” accountability program, which until 2006 included a voucher program for chronically failing schools, on public school performance has been extensively studied. The results have consistently shown a positive effect on academic outcomes in Florida public schools. The study finds that vouchers were a key element driving improvements in public schools from the A+ program.
While Florida is still experiencing improvements in student performance, the removal of
vouchers from the program reduced the magnitude of these improvements.
