Abstract
Increased parental school choice has become a popular education reform strategy, but evidence of its effectiveness in improving student achievement is mixed. In this paper, we examine the rationale for school choice, obstacles to fulfi lling its theoretical promise, and results observed to date. We supplement our discussion with data from a survey of Milwaukee principals. Survey fi ndings suggest that school leaders feel competitive pressures from certain types of schools but tend to respond by improving their marketing efforts rather than their educational programs.
