Nicholas Kelly, president of School Choice Wisconsin, issued the following statement in response to the new WPF report on education:<\/p>\n

\u201cAny plan to address K-12 education issues in Milwaukee must include more parent choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDPI data show that students in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program have outperformed MPS students despite often entering the choice program at lower levels of achievement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThose results, which we know could be even stronger, occurred with per-pupil funding at about 60% of public school funding.*<\/p>\n

\u201cMilwaukee choice students scored higher, on average, on all state academic tests and on the college-readiness ACT.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMilwaukee choice schools serve a larger number of special needs students than state data show.**<\/p>\n

\u201cRespected scholarship shows choice students graduate at higher rates and lead more crime-free lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

*Recent funding gains put that number at about 70%.<\/em><\/p>\n
