| Abstract | This report presents a fresh analysis of data from an earlier study (Brookings 2002) on the test scores of African American students in a small, targeted voucher program. This new analysis was undertaken in response to an unpublished paper by Krueger and Zhu (Princeton University) disputing some of the findings of the original study. In 1997 some 1,200 New York City public school students in grades K-4 received vouchers worth up to $1,400 annually to help pay the cost of private school through a program operated by the School Choice Scholarships Foundation. The vouchers were initially guaranteed for 3 years. Because vouchers were awarded randomly, the program was studied as a randomized field trial. Results of the original study showed students who were retested after 1, 2, and 3 years scored higher, on average, than their peers in public schools on the combined reading and math portions of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. The new analysis of the program yielded results consistent with the initial findings: Attendance at a private school had significantly positive effects on African American students' test scores but had no effects, positive or negative, on those of Hispanics or other ethnic groups.
