The School Choice Gold Standard
The Friedman Foundation has a new report grading the various scholarship, voucher, and tax credit programs across the US on three categories – student restrictions (how many students can be served), purchasing power (how much choice does it buy), and school restrictions (how many choices are made available).
Pennsylvania’s EITC ranked 16 out of 21 – ranking particularly low on program size (not enough overall funding to serve many students) and on purchasing power (covering less than 10% the cost of traditional public schools).
