School Choice Demonstration Project
School choice has long been a subject of robust debate. Private school vouchers--programs providing public funds for students to attend K-12 private schools--tend to be the most contentious form of school choice. Over the past three years, the research team has released a series of reports examining how the Louisiana Scholarship Program (LSP) has affected key student and community conditions. In this brief, the authors summarize results from the final technical reports on the following questions: (1) How did LSP voucher use affect student achievement after four years?; (2) Did the achievement effects of the LSP differ significantly based on the characteristics of the private schools preferred by students?; (3) How did LSP voucher use affect student educational attainment?; and (4) What types of students applied to the program and used an LSP voucher initially and persistently?
