Report: 74% of school choice students did not come from public schools
Original: Report: 74% of last year’s Educational Freedom Account students did not come from public school
A new report finds that 74% of students using Arkansas' Educational Freedom Accounts last year were not transfers from public schools, suggesting most participants came from homeschool, private school, or other settings. The findings are fueling debate over whether the voucher-style program is expanding options or largely subsidizing families who had already left the public system.
Why now: The report challenges claims that the school choice program is pulling students out of public schools, a key point in education funding debates.
