The Debate on School Choice

The EGPNews ran an interesting article recently on a few proposals for school reform in southern California. The staff over at EGP created a guide that outlined the strategies and methodologies of several proposals to increase academic performance. The proposals were targeted specifically at improving student achievement at Garfield, Lincoln and Esteban Torres High Schools and Luther Burbank Middle School. These are all schools in various parts of southern California that have performed poorly on assessments like the California High School Exit Exam(CAHSEE), STAR exam and others. The contrast in approaches to solving the achievement problem outlined in the proposals was quite interesting. If you are interested in reading a little more about the process click here.
