Houston, David M.; Henig, Jeffrey R. – American Journal of Education, 2021
School districts' racial/ethnic and economic compositions are strongly related to average student achievement. Relationships between districts' demographic compositions and average student growth are much weaker, and many believe growth measures are a more accurate indicator of student learning. We seek to understand if the dissemination of growth…

Pendola, Andrew; Mann, Bryan; Marshall, David T.; Bryant, Jason – Democracy & Education, 2021
This study explores the ways in which the democratic notion of "the people" may be enacted in the school choice arena. Through an investigation of a charter school movement in a rural and segregated district in the Deep South, we explore themes of the constituent paradox that enabled the community to move beyond individual interests…

Fahy, Colleen A. – Journal of School Choice, 2021
This study examines the supply-side decision to participate in interdistrict school choice by incorporating a district's own characteristics, those of its neighbors and a strategic component based on neighboring districts' decisions. A spatial Durbin probit model is applied to data from Massachusetts and estimates of direct, indirect, and total…

Bradford, Derrell – State Education Standard, 2021
The American public education system is already a school choice system, which is navigated in four ways. Families are lucky (as the author ultimately was, having received a scholarship from grades 7-12 to an independent, all-boys school just outside the city). They are rich enough to pay private school tuition, or they are able to leverage the…

Canbolat, Yusuf – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2021
Despite a vast literature on school vouchers, less is known about their long-term competitive effects on public schools. The current paper examines the competitive effect of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program, the largest single voucher program in the US, on math and ELA proficiency rates in public schools in the last eight years. Exploiting…

Burke, Lindsey M.; Greene, Jay P. – American Enterprise Institute, 2021
In their quest for broad support for school choice, proponents have conceded to Democrats' policy demands, including limited student eligibility and regulations, therefore weakening the options available to families. However these concessions have not won Democratic policymakers' support and may have alienated Republican policymakers. School…

Patrick J. Wolf; Jay P. Greene; James D. Paul; Matthew Ladner – Journal of School Choice, 2024
School choice is spreading across the U.S. at the same time that scores on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) are stagnant. We examine the association between education freedom and 8th grade student NAEP score levels and gains in states in 2019. We construct the 2019 Education Freedom Index as a composite measure of the…

Francesco Agostinelli; Margaux Luflade; Paolo Martellini – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2024
We define educational access as the component of a neighborhood's value that is determined by the set of schools available to its residents. This paper studies the extent to which educational access is determined by sorting based on heterogeneous preferences over school attributes, or local institutions that constrain residential location and…

Jane Arnold Lincove; Jon Valant – Grantee Submission, 2024
Unified enrollment (UE) systems were designed to improve efficiency, equity, and transparency in school choice processes, but research has focused on efficiency gains. This study examines whether moving from decentralized enrollment processes to UE mitigates or exacerbates racial segregation that often occurs in choice systems. Specifically, we…

Based on arguments about the need for greater individual freedom, school choice was introduced in Sweden in the 1990s. Swedish municipalities now set up local school choice systems, whose organization varies between municipalities. This study is based on interviews with three politicians and two civil servants from two average-sized municipalities…

The literature on gifted homeschooling includes topics such as motivations for homeschooling, modalities of instruction, and student achievement and social-emotional wellness.
