DC School Vouchers: Better Results, 1/4 the Cost

A new study shows that school vouchers in DC bring better results at a fraction of the cost:
The latest federal study of the D.C. voucher program finds that voucher students have pulled significantly ahead of their public school peers in reading and perform at least as well as public school students in math. It also reports that the average tuition at the voucher schools is $6,620. That is ONE QUARTER what the District of Columbia spends per pupil on education ($26,555), according to the District’s own fiscal year 2009 budget.Better results at a quarter the cost. And Democrats in Congress have sunset its funding and are trying to kill it. Shame on them.
That is significant. Why kill what is obviously working? Unless you don’t want people to know it’s working. God forbid the rest of the nation ask for school choice.
