Providing parents choices in education has become an increasingly popular instrument for reforming education in the United States. While existing research on parent satisfaction in private school choice programs shows that parents are satisfied with the schools they have chosen, there is not much to explain their satisfaction. Previous research using parent surveys asks parents to rate and/or grade their school of choice, while comparing their response to their thoughts on their previous public school. This paper reports new empirical evidence that looks to offer a possible explanation for parents' satisfaction. Using data from the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, we look to analyze whether or not parents get what they choose for when given the opportunity to choose a private school. Our analysis makes use of survey responses from parents that can be matched to students and then matched to principals. In total, there were 7,338 parents who received a survey. Of these, 3,226 parents completed a survey. In total, there were 1,868 students who responded to surveys. Parents were matched to MPCP students using a unique child ID, resulting in 1,856 parents who were matched to students. These were then matched to principals representing 123 schools participating in the MPCP. Our analysis of the MPCP examines the probability of a parent choosing a school that ranked at least above average on the specific characteristic they had listed as most important to their school choice. Since a school having a specific characteristic is a binary variable, we used Logit as the functional form of the regression equation in order to estimate the probability that parents get what they choose for.

With the rise in alternatives to public schools over the past three decades, it is clear that families have a variety of options in addition to the local public school. These opportunities have created a competitive marketplace where all schools, public included, are now competing for families. Parents are increasingly viewed as consumers and, depending on their positions with regard to large scale educational goals and the specific educational needs of their families, many have a greater opportunity to make decisions about what suits their needs best (Cookson, 1994). Parents who choose private schools are generally pursuing higher levels of, or looking to maintain, social advantages for the next generation of their family (Bourdieu & Passeron, 2000; Cookson, 1994). This pursuit of education by families can be explained as a conflict between social classes (Sadovnik et al., 2006). Educational credentials, as indicators of status, have become more important than actual levels of student achievement related to knowledge and skills. The rise in credentialism during the twentieth century has helped dominant groups to continue to locate greater advantages for their children as they relate to their place within the system of education as well as society (Collins, 1979). At the micro-level there are a number of reasons that reflect why parents choose private schools over public schools. Research shows parental decisions to choose a private school is often very complex and it is very unlikely that one particular reason is used for making a particular decision (Bosetti, 2004; Cookson, 1994). Three micro-level themes consistently identified by researchers pertaining to parents' decisions to choose private schools include academics, values, and school characteristics which includes themes related to smaller class size and a more personalized learning environment. This case study explored the issue of student and family attrition from public schools when parents chose to remove their children from a suburban public school to enroll them in a private school. It also examined student and family attrition from private schools when parents chose to remove their children from private schools to enroll them in the local public school. Parents who opted to leave the public schools for private schools maintained reasons that consistently followed the research literature; doing so due to experiences, or the anticipation of such experiences in future grades, related to poor academic challenge, social climate issues, and a lack of personalization within the learning environment. Parents who opted to leave private school for public school did so primarily because the value was not there when comparing the cost of a private education with what was offered in the local public schools. In addition, these parents wanted a greater sense of social exposure, awareness, and understanding for their children which they felt would be more likely to be found in the local public school system. Public school administrators need to be aware of such reasons to develop and implement effective instructional programs given the competitive marketplace that involves public and private education (Cookson, 1994). As parents have extensive options related to school choice, this awareness is critical to successfully obtaining and retaining students and their families as part of a student body and school community (Coleman & Hoffer, 1987; Gutmann, 1987; Schneider et al., 2000). It is in developing this awareness that more public school administrators should be better able understand why and how they fail to meet student and family needs as well as what they need to do to reverse this trend.

What does the term 'school choice' mean to you? Opponents of parental choice have muddied its definition, misleading parents and educators and drawing public debate away from the core issues. In a book geared for anyone who wants to better understand this hotly contested topic, Merrifield clarifies the proposals in existence today, defining the key concepts related to choice. Arguing for a competitive education industry, he discusses policy and political strategy mistakes while suggesting corrections. This informative book covers government regulation issues, typical fallacies, diversity issues, private voucher initiatives, and experiments and empirical evidence about competition.

The first cross-national comparative study on school choice policies, this volume features prominent scholars who analyze experiences in countries around the world, England, Chile, South Africa, the Czech Republic, China, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden. Together, they answer such important questions as: Why are policies that expand educational options being adopted in such a diverse set of countries? Why have governments in widely varying circumstances come to view school choice as an apt response to educational dilemmas? What have we learned about the impacts of these policies on existing educational systems and the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom? The analyses presented here illuminate school choice policies as a critical worldwide development in education, noting both similarities and differences across countries. This volume broadens our understanding of school choice on the world stage while exploring implications for education policy in the United States.

The school choice movement has gained political momentum in recent years, having established programs in Milwaukee, Florida, Texas, and elsewhere. Yet, as economist John Merrifield argues in this detailed analysis, today's school choice programs are nothing like the “free market in education” envisioned four decades ago by early proponents of school choice. Rather, they are mired in false alternatives, petty distinctions, and diminished vision, and in their present form are doomed to fail as have so many other government programs. In this text, Merrifield argues for the reformation of the school choice alternative and the eventual establishment of a freely competitive market for education, charting a course for the achievement of this goal.
