SCDP Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. Report #11 written by Jay P. Greene and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines evidence on the "systemic effects" of expanding school choice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is home to one of the nation's largest and longest-running school choice programs. If there are systemic effects from expanding school choice we should be able to see them in Milwaukee. This paper also introduces a novel method for analyzing systemic effects. Taking full advantage of student-level data, we develop a new measure of those effects based on the extent of voucher options that each student has each year. The idea behind this measure is that school systems face greater competitive pressure to serve students well when students have more options to leave. This type of measure might be useful for future analyses of systemic effects. Using this new approach, we find that students fare better academically when they have more options from Milwaukee's voucher program. The effects are modest in magnitude, but they are robust to multiple specifications of the model. (Contains 8 tables and 6 footnotes.)

This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) was established in 1990 as the first urban education reform in the U.S. built around the idea of permitting parents to enroll their children in private schools of their choosing at government expense. In its first year of operation, the MPCP or "Choice" program enrolled 341 students in the seven secular private schools participating in the program. This report provides an overview of the MPCP and the author's and his colleagues' plan for evaluating it over the five-year period from 2006-2007 to 2010-2011. The third year of the comprehensive longitudinal evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program by the School Choice Demonstration Project has produced an interesting set of medium-term findings as well as the conditions for more far-reaching results in the future. The author and his colleagues have established that, two years after being carefully matched on important characteristics, students in their MPCP and MPS (Milwaukee Public School) panels are demonstrating achievement gains in reading and math that are generally equivalent. They have documented the frequency and patterns of school-switching in the city. They have confirmed that both the MPCP and the MPS have recently shed their respective sectors of many low-performing schools. They have displayed a rough and limited snapshot of the average performance of Choice students in certain grades that suggests they tend to perform at levels roughly comparable to similarly income-disadvantaged students in MPS and better than low-income students in urban areas across the U.S. They have found that Milwaukee families tell that their child's commitment to education and study habits are more important harbingers of academic success to them than are test scores. Finally, they have determined that school choice in Milwaukee has neither worsened nor improved the levels of racial segregation in the city's public and private schools.

Download or read book The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program's Effect on School Integration. SCDP Milwaukee Evaluation Report #20 written by Jay P. Greene and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the authors estimate the effect of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP, or the Milwaukee voucher program) on integration in public and private schools. Their first question is straightforward: Do the student bodies at private schools participating in MPCP have a racial composition that more closely or less closely resembles the racial composition of school-age children in the Milwaukee metropolitan area than do Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS)? The general answer is that MPCP and MPS schools are about equally representative of the racial composition of the broader community in which they are located; however, both sectors have racial compositions that deviate significantly from the Milwaukee metro area. Their second question comes in two parts: When a student in Milwaukee Public Schools transfers to a different school (either within MPS or into the private sector with a voucher), how does that transfer affect the racial integration at (a) the student's originating public school and (b) the school receiving the student? As to both of these sub-questions, they measure integration by proximity to the racial demographics of the overall metropolitan area. In general, the authors find that students who switch schools in Milwaukee overwhelmingly tend to (a) improve racial integration at their originating school and (b) worsen integration at their receiving school, whether that receiving school is within MPS or part of the voucher program. Furthermore, the differences between MPS-to-MPS and MPS-to-MPCP switches are negligible. Finally, their third question considers if the two sectors differ in the degree to which their student bodies are racially homogeneous. To answer this question, the authors compare the percentage of schools that are racially homogeneous between the two sectors. They find that, while racially homogeneous schools make up a sizeable portion of schools in both sectors, the two sectors are not significantly different in the degree to which they have racially homogeneous schools. Overall, their results show that the Milwaukee voucher program is currently neutral in its effect on racial integration. This result is different from previous integration research on the Milwaukee voucher program that found positive impacts. The reason, the authors suspect, is that Milwaukee has already allowed residents to choose any public school regardless of geographic districting, which in turn means that over time public schooling has become less tied to patterns of residential segregation than in most metropolitan areas. The remainder of this paper proceeds as follows: first, the authors present a review of the relevant literature on the effects of school voucher programs on integration. Next, they provide a brief description of their data and present the results of their analyses intended to answer the three questions outlined above. Finally, they conclude with a discussion of their findings. (Contains 9 tables and 7 footnotes.).

This book was released on 2011 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review is of "The Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program: Summary of Fourth Year Reports," published by the School Choice Demonstration Project, University of Arkansas. The report makes eight claims about the effectiveness of the program, most of them positive. On the key issue of achievement of students receiving vouchers, however, the report merely concludes that the program is not harmful. As the report's title suggests, the evidence for all its claims is almost exclusively the researchers' own work, with no reference to other academic literature. Importantly, none of their own referenced documents were peer-reviewed. Even as some of the report's claims are in accord with the broader literature, their appearance in isolation makes for an overly simple evaluation of the MPCP. (Contains 19 notes.) [This report reviews "The Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program: Summary of Fourth Year Reports. SCDP Milwaukee Evaluation. Report #28" (ED518706).].

This book was released on 2011 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006 Wisconsin policymakers identified the School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP) as the organization to help answer lingering questions about the effects of the MPCP [Milwaukee Parental Choice Program]. The SCDP is a national research organization, based in the University of Arkansas' Department of Education Reform, dedicated to the comprehensive, objective and nonpartisan evaluation of school choice programs. Thus far our research has generated a pattern of school choice results that range from neutral (no significant difference) to strongly positive. Although we have examined virtually every possible way that school choice could systematically affect people, schools, and neighborhoods in Milwaukee, we have found no evidence of any harmful effects of choice. Our major findings to date are: (1) The MPCP remains popular among Milwaukee families, as evidenced by consistent and at times dramatic growth in MPCP enrollments over the past 12 years. (2) The Choice program saves the government money--nearly $52 million in fiscal year 2011--although not all types of Wisconsin taxpayers benefit from the savings. (3) Both the MPCP and the MPS [Milwaukee Public School] have succeeded in denying public funds to, or closing, a substantial number of low-performing schools over the past four years. (4) Attending a private high school through the MPCP increases the likelihood of a student graduating from high school and enrolling in college. (5) Students in the MPCP appear to be performing at lower levels than MPS students in the younger grades but somewhat higher levels than MPS students in the older grades. When similar MPCP students are tracked carefully over time, however, their rates of achievement growth are statistically similar after three years. (6) MPS students themselves are performing at somewhat higher levels as a result of competitive pressure from the school voucher program. (7) The MPCP has had no discernible effect on the racial segregation of schools or housing costs across neighborhoods. (8) Independent public charter schools are generating significantly higher rates of achievement growth for their students compared to similar students in MPS.

Download or read book Special Education and the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. SCDP Milwaukee Evaluation Report #35 written by Patrick J. Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education and parental school choice are two of the most controversial issues in K-12 education in the United States. In certain places, especially Milwaukee, Wisconsin, those two sensitive education concerns intersect in ways that prompt regular interest on the part of policy makers, advocates, the media, and the public at large. In this report the authors examine evidence regarding the extent to which the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) serves students with special physical or educational needs. At issue is the difference between students being formally (and legally) identified as "in special education" and students who likely would be so identified if they were in public rather than private schools. Appended are: (1) Directions for Completing the Student Enrollment Verification Form; and (2) WKCE Test Forms Pertaining to Student Disability. (Contains 3 figures, 2 tables and 3 footnotes.)[Additional funding for this project was provided by the Robertson foundation.].
