Do private schools push out students who receive state-funded tuition vouchers when they struggle academically? A newly published research study provides evidence that they do.
On the other hand, the researchers don't find support for the idea that the schools are "cream skimming": that is, admitting more voucher students who are high-achieving and easier to educate.
The study, "Cream Skimming and Pushout in Students Participating in a Statewide Private School Voucher Program," was published in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis. Authors are R. Joseph Waddington and Ron Zimmer of the University of Kentucky and Mark Berends of Notre Dame.
