A major study of the Cleveland Voucher program shows that public school students outperformed voucher students attending private schools in Math, Reading and Language from kindergarten through third grade even though the public school students were substantially less affluent, substantially more minority, and private schools lost their lowest performing students over time.
The "Evaluation of the Cleveland Scholarship and Tutoring Program 1998-2001" by the Indiana Center for Evaluation, released in March, 2003, followed students over the four years from Kindergarten through Third Grade. Students were tested by the researchers at the beginning of first grade and then at the end of first, second and third grade...
...The study shows (see data sheet) that students attending private schools on vouchers had consistently worse educational achievement gains in Mathematics, Reading and Language than students who attended public schools. In all but one case, the voucher students showed lower gains in achievement in all three subjects than students who stayed in public schools. The one case where this was not true was when students attended kindergarten on vouchers but returned to public schools for first through third grade.
