| Abstract | This brief presents information on per pupil expenditure versus non-public school tuition and the availability of non-public classroom spaces in the District of Columbia. It argues that proposed school choice programs would allow pupils to use vouchers to attend the parochial or private school of their parents' choice. An analysis of the private and parochial schools in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area reveals the following: private schools in Washington and surrounding areas charge less on average than the D.C. public school system spends per pupil; the D.C. public school system, which has suffered from overspending and budget deficits in the last few years, could find its enrollment reduced by almost 10 percent as a result of a voucher program; private schools in Washington could immediately accommodate about 2,925 students now attending public or charter schools; and allowing all independent and parochial schools in the Washington metro area to participate in a school choice program could add almost 3,500 more spaces, since there are more than 6,000 seats available in local, nonpublic schools.
