Abstract

Since the two groups of students-the lottery's winners and losers-had similar average abilities and family backgrounds, any subsequent achievement differences observed between them can be attributed to the effects of the vouchers. [...]our evaluations of the New York, Dayton, and D.C. voucher programs have yielded the best available information on students' test-score outcomes and parental assessments of public and private schools. [...]it remains unclear whether these studies have unearthed actual differences between public and private schools or simply differences in the kinds of students and families attending them.
