Students who use vouchers to attend private schools do no better or worse than similar students in public schools
From The St. Petersburg Times: Students using vouchers to attend private schools in Floridaare doing no better and no worse than similar students in public schools, says a study ordered by the state Legislature. Northwestern University economics professor David Figlio compared test scores of students in the voucher program, which served 23,259 students last year, to eligible public school students who opted not to participate.
