School choice is a hot topic in the United States. Private school
vouchers, public charter schools, open enrollment, and
homeschooling all regularly appear on the policy agenda as ways to
improve the educational experience and outcomes for students,
parents, and the broader society. Pundits often make claims about
the various ways in which parents select schools and thus customize
their child's education. What claims about school choice are
grounded in actual evidence? This book presents systematic reviews
of the social science research regarding critical aspects of
parental school choice. How do parents choose schools and what do
they seek? What effects do their choices have on the racial
integration of schools and the performance of the schools that
serve non-choosing students? What features of public charter
schools are related to higher student test scores? What effects
does school choice have on important non-cognitive outcomes
including parent satisfaction, student character traits, and how
far students go in school? What do we know about homeschooling as a
school choice? This book, originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of School Choice, provides evidence-based answers to
those vital questions.
