in New York City, Dayton, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., as well as
in the states of Florida, Minnesota, and Louisiana — reported a modest increase or neutral impact on student achievement and graduation rates.9 The findings of some of these studies, however, have more recently been called into question as methodological flaws were discovered when adding additional years or replicating the study.10 As a result, recent voucher program evaluations employ more rigorous
research methods such as experimental and quasi-experimental designs and refine their
use of certain
variables.
