Carlson, Deven; Cowen, Joshua M.; Fleming, David J. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2013
Few school choice evaluations consider students who leave such programs, and fewer still consider the effects of leaving these programs as policy-relevant outcomes.

Murnane, Richard J. – Future of Children, 2007
Richard Murnane observes that the American ideal of equality of educational opportunity has for years been more the rhetoric than the reality of the nation's political life. Children living in poverty, he notes, tend to be concentrated in low-performing schools staffed by ill-equipped teachers. They are likely to leave school without the skills…

Nicotera, Anna; Teasley, Bettie; Berends, Mark – National Center on School Choice, Vanderbilt University (NJ3), 2007

We focus on students who move from schools that must offer choice under NCLB in a…
