| Abstract | This study examined whether the existence or threat of competition would cause public schools to improve, focusing on Florida's A+ Program, which combined educational vouchers and high stakes testing. The theory behind the program is that chronically failing public schools will have an incentive to improve if they must compete with other schools for students and the funding they generate. The study identified five categories of low-performing schools based on the degree of threat each school faced from voucher competition: voucher eligible schools, voucher threatened schools, formerly threatened schools, and two categories of similarly low-performing schools not facing any immediate threat of voucher competition. It examined test score improvements on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test and the Stanford-9 to see whether low-performing schools facing a greater degree of threat from voucher competition made more improvements than low-performing schools facing a lesser degree of threat from vouchers. Results indicate that Florida's low-performing schools are improving in direct proportion to the challenge they face from voucher competition. Schools already facing voucher competition show the greatest improvements of all five categories. Threatened schools show the second greatest improvements. An appendix offers 14 tables.
