This 2011 report from the Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research is an analysis of aspects of the impact of public school choice in Washington, D.C. The report finds that “disadvantaged students are able to attend higher-performing schools than their neighborhood public schools, even with prolonged commutes,” but that “choice exacerbates student quality disparities between low- and high-poverty schools.” The report includes data on school choice trends, with breakdowns based on academic proficiency and household income.
