Carlson, Deven; Cowen, Joshua M.; Fleming, David J. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2013
Few school choice evaluations consider students who leave such programs, and fewer still consider the effects of leaving these programs as policy-relevant outcomes. Using a representative sample of students from the citywide voucher program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we analyze more than 1,000 students who leave the program during a 4-year period.…

Heinrich, Carolyn; Nisar, Hiren – Online Submission, 2012
School districts required under No Child Left Behind to provide supplemental educational services (SES) to students in schools that are not making adequate yearly progress rely heavily on the private sector to offer choice in service provision. If the market does not work to drive out ineffective providers, students will be less likely to gain…

Gershenson, Seth – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2019
There's mounting evidence that, for children of color especially, having one or more teachers of the same race over the course of students' educational careers seems to make a positive difference. But to what extent, if any, do the benefits of having a same-race teacher vary by type of school? Existing "race-match" studies fail to…

Honglu Zhang; Darren Powell – Sport, Education and Society, 2024
The Olympics is one of the world's biggest marketing platforms and, as such, presents the private sector with a vast range of advertising opportunities. One new area of opportunity is school-based Olympic education. While previous studies have revealed some of the marketing strategies used by Olympic sponsors in Olympic education, there is still a…

Murphy, Mark – Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis, 2021
Growing evidence illustrates the size and character of public-school enrollment declines during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, far less is known about where unenrolled students went. Using unique cross-sector enrollment and mobility data from the state of Hawaii, this study provides evidence that demographic changes and movement to private…

Data consist of over four million test observations of nationally representative samples of students on seven separate math and reading tests. We…

Pusztai, Gabriella; Róbert, Péter; Fényes, Hajnalka – Journal of School Choice, 2023
In this study, we examine the features of school choice by comparing parental involvement between denominational and public schools. In Hungary, denominational schools reemerged after the fall of communism in 1989, and their share increased further after 2010. The survey data, we employ, refer to primary school children's parents and were focused…

Argue, Sarah; Miller, Rachelle; Thompson, Amy; Tribble, Dana Joy – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Preparing students for entry into kindergarten is a key priority within the educational sector. Research has shown that students with lower levels of cognitive and socio-emotional competencies are less prepared for kindergarten entry and consequently perform more poorly on assessments in later grades (Duncan et al., 2007; Ensey Hoever, 2014;…
