| Share this post: |
Second consecutive year of higher ACT scores – regardless of income
Data released today by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) show that again this year, students in the Parental Choice Programs are outperforming their peers. As with all test data, a one-year snapshot has limitations but the trend of higher scores for students on a voucher is great news for students and taxpayers.
“All three Parental Choice Programs, comprised predominately of low-income students, outscored their full-income, public school counterparts across the entire state on the ACT for the second year in a row,” Jim Bender said. “Combined with the Forward Exam, these results highlight the continued success of the program.”
Below are the comparative data for the Parental Choice Programs around the state:
