This book was released on 2012 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study reviewed in this report examined the effectiveness of the "Milwaukee Parental Choice Program" ("MPCP"), which provides vouchers for low-income students to attend private schools. The study analyzed data on about 600 students who were given "MPCP" vouchers in the 2006-07 school year. The authors created a comparison group of similar size by matching the "MPCP" students to students who attended Milwaukee Public Schools. The study estimated the effect of the voucher program by comparing "MPCP" students' standardized test scores in 2010--four years after they were given a voucher--with those of comparison group students. The study found that the reading test scores of "MPCP" students in 2010 were 0.15 standard deviations higher than they were for the matched comparison sample, a statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference in math test scores in 2010. The research described in this report meets What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined the effectiveness of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP), which provides vouchers for low-income students to attend private schools. The study examined the four-year academic achievement growth of more than 600 students who were given a voucher in the 2006-07 school year, compared to the academic achievement growth of a matched sample of students who had attended Milwaukee public schools. The study reported that students who began participating in the MPCP in the 2006-07 school year had statistically significantly higher reading achievement in the 2010-11 school year than comparison students, with an effect size of 0.15. There was no difference in math achievement. The study cannot "meet the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards" because it is not a randomized controlled trial. The study may be able to "meet WWC evidence standards with reservations" because the authors established that their quasi-experimental matching design resulted in equivalent groups of MPCP students and comparison students on test scores and demographic characteristics in 2006. However, because of a change in district policy in the final year that applied only to schools receiving voucher students, it is possible that the observed effects were not solely due to the MPCP. A more thorough review (forthcoming) will examine the issue further to determine the study rating.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined whether students who use a voucher to attend private school have greater mathematics and reading achievement than students who attend public schools. The study analyzed data on more than 2,200 elementary and middle school students from public and private schools in Milwaukee. Academic achievement was measured using the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations in math and reading, the same standardized tests that are administered through Wisconsin's accountability program. In fall 2006, the study's authors matched each voucher participant with one comparison student from Milwaukee Public Schools. Math and reading scores of a subsample of these matched students were measured through fall 2008 to determine the effect of voucher participation. Analyses controlled for student demographic characteristics and student test scores from before the study's first year. The authors found no significant differences between math and reading achievement of students who used a voucher to attend private school and comparison students from Milwaukee Public Schools. The WWC does not consider these results to be conclusive because it could not verify from data presented in the study whether the voucher-and comparison-group students were initially equivalent in math and reading achievement. The research described in this report does not meet WWC evidence standards. (Contains 3 footnotes.) [The following study is the focus of this "Quick Review": Witte, J. F., Cowen, J. M., Fleming, D.

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.)

The tables, graphs, and histograms presented in this report provide a snapshot of these students' percentile scores or scale scores relative to overall national norms or MPS students. They do not and cannot tell us if MPCP schools are performing better, worse, or the same as MPS schools. Any reliable determination of the effectiveness of a school choice program like the MPCP can only come from a rigorous longitudinal study that follows a representative group of choice students over time and compares their achievement gains to those of a comparable set of public school students. For such an evaluation, we refer readers to the MPCP Longitudinal Educational Growth Study (LEGS) also being conducted by the SCDP." -- p. 2-3.

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.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide descriptive data regarding the test scores of Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) students in grades 4, 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, as reported to the School Choice Demonstration Project 2009-2010. The tables, graphs, and histograms presented in this report provide a snapshot of these students' percentile scores relative to overall national norms, and scaled scores on the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations (WKCE) relative to the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) free- and reduced-price lunch program (FRL) students. Because national norms are based on students with "average" educational circumstances, and the MPCP exclusively serves low-income inner-city students, the fact that their average levels of performance on norm referenced tests cluster around the lower one-third of the distribution is not surprising and should not be interpreted to indicate that the MPCP in general or MPCP schools in particular are necessarily doing a poor job of educating students. The comparison of the scaled scores of the Choice students and schools that took the WKCE with the scores of MPS FRL students and schools similarly is presented descriptively with no claim that the schools themselves were independently responsible for the various results. Any reliable determination of the effectiveness of a school choice program like the MPCP can only come from a rigorous longitudinal study that follows a representative group of choice students over time and compares their achievement gains to those of a comparable set of public school students. The MPCP Longitudinal Education Growth Study (LEGS) will serve as the proper source for such a determination. A list of schools with MPCP students in tested grades operation through May 2010 is appended. (Contains 5 tables, 14 figures and 9 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) is the nation's oldest and largest urban school choice program, offering private-school scholarships to low-income students in the city of Milwaukee since 1990. In the early years of the program, voucher schools were not required to test their students, though many of them did so using nationally normed standardized tests. That changed on March 10, 2006, when Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle signed Wisconsin Act 125 into law. The Act required participating private schools to administer either the state test, the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE), or a nationally normed test annually in reading, mathematics and science to MPCP (aka "Choice") students enrolled in 4th, 8th, and 10th grades. Beginning in 2006 and extending through 2011, the law required that the individual student results of the tests be provided to the School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP), an independent research organization. This report describes the results of student testing conducted by MPCP schools during the 2010-11 academic year. Participating MPCP schools sent the WKCE scores from their test administration to the Department of Public Instruction, which shared the resulting scores with the School Choice Demonstration Project in the spring of 2011. Participating schools that opted to continue administering additional nationally normed tests reported those results directly to the SCDP, with most of them arriving in the summer of 2011. The SCDP staff carefully entered these scores into a single database and delivered the data to the Legislative Audit Bureau on December 16, 2011. Appended are: (1) Schools with MPCP students in tested grades in operation through May 2011 (N= 102); (2) Correspondence with Schools; and (3) DPI News Release--March 2011.

Book excerpt: This document describes the flaws in an October 2007 Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI) report on public school choice and parental involvement, "Fixing the Milwaukee Public Schools: The Limits of Parent-Driven Reform." Because the report claims that public school choice and parental involvement have little effect on student performance in Milwaukee Public Schools, a surprising conclusion from a think tank that has traditionally supported public and private school choice, the report received significant news coverage and editorial comment, particularly from those opposed to school choice programs that include private school options, such as the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. Unfortunately, most of this coverage and commentary uncritically accepted the report's conclusions about school choice, and even worse, applied them more broadly to private school choice programs. But as this analysis finds, the WPRI report is fatally flawed, undermining both its claims about public school choice and any implications for private school choice in Milwaukee or elsewhere. This analysis finds flaws in the report's methodology, sampling procedure, failure to measure cause-and-effect, improper creation of variables, and unfounded assumptions about parental involvement.
