[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC already has a federal voucher law. Here is the evaluation. https://ies.ed.gov/use-work/resource-library/report/evaluation-report/evaluation-dc-opportunity-scholarship-program-impacts-after-three-years-0 The report found that the OSP had no effect on either math or reading achievement. The OSP did have positive effects on students' – but not parents' – satisfaction with their schools and perceptions of school safety.[/quote] This study was over 3 years and found that math tests weren't different between kids who got vouchers and used them and kids who weren't offered them. Interestingly chronic absenteeism was lower in voucher kids, which seems like it would over a longer period of time make some difference in outcomes if chronic absenteeism is the problem people say it is.[/quote]
