The 2014 Education Choice and Competition Index: Summary and Commentary
Whitehurst, Grover J.; Klein, Ellie
Brookings Institution
The Brown Center on Education Policy at Brookings releases an annual Education Choice and Competition Index (ECCI) that chronicles how school choice is manifested in the nation's 100+ largest school districts. The ECCI scores and ranks districts on the degree to which families within the district's borders have access to: (1) maximum choice; (2) a choice process that maximizes the match between parental preference and school assignment; (3) funding and management processes that favor the growth of popular schools at the expense of unpopular schools; and (4) subsidies for the costs of choice for poor families, particularly for transportation. This report accompanies the fourth release of the ECCI covering the 2013-2014 school year. This report highlights some interesting findings and provides a commentary that focuses on the need for both access to and quality of choice. [For the 2013 report, see ED614747.]
