It is clear to me that restoring choice to the education market will allow competition to occur, which will likely result in increased quality.
Except in this area, the quality of the student seems to matter quite a bit more than the quality of the school. When Chicago Public Schools used a lottery-based system for granting spots in the top-performing schools, it turned out that students who won the lottery didn't turn out significantly better than those who lost.
