August 11, 2025 (WEST ALLIS)<\/strong> \u2014 The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) ranks schools in the state\u2019s private choice programs above traditional public schools, according to a new report from School Choice Wisconsin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDPI gives choice schools higher Report Card scores even though they receive substantially less revenue,\u201d said Brenda White, chair, School Choice Wisconsin Board of Directors\u00a0 \u201cSchool choice is Wisconsin\u2019s most cost-effective K-12 investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDPI\u2019s favorable ranking of school choice confirms that Wisconsin\u2019s education policy should be grounded in giving parents options,\u201d said Scott Manley, Executive Vice President of Government Relations at Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.\u00a0 Manley co-chairs the Wisconsin Coalition for Education Freedom.<\/p>\n

For 2023-24, the table below compares Report Card scores and per pupil revenue at public schools with scores and average revenue in three choice programs: (1) the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP); (2) the Racine Parental Choice Program (RPCP); and (3) the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP).\u00a0 In all three programs choice schools had higher DPI scores despite substantially less revenue per pupil.<\/p>\n
