School Vouchers: A win-win solution

These graphs summarize the findings of a recent survey of the effect of school vouchers in several US jurisdictions - both how they impact the participating students and how they impact the students in the schools they left behind.

Clearly, everyone is better off when some students can receive school vouchers.

In the author's words, "The benefits provided by existing voucher programs are sometimes large, but are usually more modest in size. This is not surprising, since the programs themselves are modest - curtailed by strict limits on the students they can serve, the resources they can provide, and the freedom to innovate. Only a universal voucher program could deliver the kind of dramatic improvement our public schools so desperately need."
