School choice programs could improve education outcomes for students while costing taxpayers less, a newly released report found.
Private schools in Wisconsin’s school choice programs receive less revenue per pupil than the state’s public schools but produce consistently higher achievement outcomes, according to a report by School Choice Wisconsin released on Tuesday.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) 2023-2024 district report card, which rates schools on a 0-100 scale based on factors such as achievement growth, student test scores and on-track graduation rates, shows three of Wisconsin’s school choice programs outperform their public counterparts while receiving substantially less money per pupil, the report found.
