Parental Choice Students On Trend With Higher Test Scores
| Share this post: |
Data released today by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) shows 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 test 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 counterparts across the entire state in public schools on the ACT,” Jim Bender said. “Combined with the Forward Exam, these results highlight superior outcomes at a fraction of the cost to taxpayers.”
Below is the comparative data for the Parental Choice Programs around the state:
* Removes Milwaukee and Racine Unified from statewide data
* * Removes Milwaukee only as RUSD econ/dis not available
