School Choice Wisconsin President Nicholas Kelly
"Parents across Wisconsin know what educational opportunities are best for their kids. School choice empowers them to make those decisions. While report cards are just one piece of information a family might use, it’s clear that Wisconsin’s choice schools give them important options.
"Regardless of measurement changes implemented this year by the Department of Public Instruction, as in the past students in the choice program continue to grow and achieve at a higher level. These results occur despite choice schools being funded at 70% of public school levels."
