A new report says kids who use school choice scholarships in Pennsylvania are doing better than kids in traditional public schools.
The report from the Commonwealth Foundation says kids who take advantage of scholarships have better reading and math scores than similar kids who go to their local, public schools. The report found 61% of scholarship students could read at grade level, compared to 39% of traditional public-school students. The gap in math is even wider, with 54% of scholarship students at grade level, compared to 19% of public-school students.
The report says 99% of scholarship kids graduate from high school, and 72% enroll in college.
