Abstract | This report examines data from an analysis of the Cleveland Scholarship and Tutoring Program in 2001 and previous years that examined grade-by-grade enrollment of participating students by school. It notes that after 5 years, the Program has not made low-income, African American students attending Cleveland's struggling public schools its top priority. The voucher program has always consisted primarily of students attending religious schools, and in 2001, more than 99 percent of participating students were enrolled in religious schools. Only 21 percent of students receiving aid through the voucher program attended Cleveland public schools in the year prior to enrollment in the voucher program. Public schools that are losing high numbers of students to voucher schools are not among the low-performing city schools. Students who transfer out of public schools to enroll in voucher schools are more likely to have come from high-performing schools, magnet schools, or schools with high test scores. Students in the voucher program are less likely to be African American than students in the district at large. Voucher students come from households with similar income levels to those of households of students in the Cleveland public schools. (SM) |
