New York's School Choice Experiment Shows Promising Results. A new report from the Wall Street Journal reveals that the Empire State's school choice program has yielded impressive outcomes, with students who participated in the program achieving higher grades and test scores compared to their peers. The program, which allows students to attend private schools using state-funded scholarships, has been a contentious issue in New York for years, with critics arguing that it would divert funds from already underfunded public schools. However, the latest data suggests that the initiative may be paying off, providing low-income families with access to better educational opportunities and paving the way for a potential expansion of school choice programs nationwide.
