| Abstract | The voucher intervention sponsored by New York City's School Choice Scholarships Foundation (SCSF) has been a valuable source of information about such programs. It began in 1997, when K-4 public school students were invited to apply to SCSF for a voucher to help defray costs of private school tuition. Over 1,200 of 20,000 applicants were offered vouchers via a lottery. Since vouchers were awarded by lot, the SCSF program was evaluated as a randomized field trial. Researchers collected baseline test scores and other data prior to the lottery, administered the lottery, then collected followup data 1, 2, and 3 years later. A group families who did not win the lottery acted as the controls. For non-African Americans, and for students as a whole, private schools did not have any discernable impact on test scores. For African Americans, substantial improvements were observed in all 3 years. Although some researchers express strong doubts that African American benefitted much from the New York City voucher intervention, this study suggests that evidence supports the original contention that African Americans, and only African Americans, posted significant and positive test score gains associated with attending a private school that in year 3 ranged from one-quarter to two-fifths of a standard deviation, depending on the model estimated.
