School Choice and School Improvement brings together a collection
of exemplary, policy-relevant papers that examine how communities,
districts, and states use choice as a strategy for improving
schools and student learning. The book includes sophisticated and
insightful research on private schools and vouchers; charter
schools and traditional public schools; and intradistrict transfer
programmes, adding depth and perspective to the ongoing debates
about school choice options. The authors provide rigorous research
and empirical data to answer central policy questions. What is the
impact of school choice on student outcomes? In systems that
provide school choice, do parents choose to move their children
from low-achieving schools to higher-achieving schools? Does school
choice result in increased competition among schools? What is the
relationship between school choice and racial or ethnic segregation
in the schools? The chapters in this volume collectively exemplify
the directions in which research on school choice is developing and
push the field toward a more systematic and nuanced understanding
of the impact of school choice.
