The scores demonstrate once again that students in the state\u2019s private school choice programs continue to outperform their public school peers.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing a record dating to the late 2010s, private-choice students scored higher, on average, on state tests than comparable groups of public school students. Furthermore, choice students outscored all public students on the college-readiness ACT exam.<\/p>\n<p>Attached tables show that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On every comparison, choice students in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) and Racine Parental Choice Program (RPCP) outscored public students in Milwaukee Public Schools and the Racine Unified School District, respectively.<\/li>\n<li>Statewide, low-income choice students in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) significantly outperformed economically disadvantaged public students in all comparisons.<\/li>\n<li>These results reinforce a recent School Choice Wisconsin report showing that private choice schools are significantly more productive than public schools. As that report demonstrated, school choice is by far Wisconsin\u2019s most cost-effective investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThese results stand to reinforce a recent School Choice Wisconsin report showing that private choice schools are significantly more productive than public schools,\u201d said <strong>Carol Shires, Vice President of Operations for School Choice Wisconsin<\/strong>. \u201cAs that report demonstrated, school choice is by far Wisconsin\u2019s most cost-effective investment.
