Abstract	An analysis of school choice programs is presented. The review is organized around the following topics: common characteristics of programs, variations, advantages and disadvantages, the relationship between choice and student achievement, and state role. A conclusion is that policy decisions will have to be based on factors other than effects of school choice on student achievement, because there are few, if any, acceptable studies available on the subject, and that state policymakers should weigh choice options against legal, political, and geographic constraints.
