Indiana Tops the List for School Voucher Programs


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO): A new report released this week, ranks Indiana at the top of the list for school voucher programs.


According to the report issued by the Center for Education Reform, Indiana offers an improved charter school law that brings a wide variety of options to students and their parents.


A path-breaking, statewide school choice program, expanded in May 2013, has attracted thousands of parents who have chosen private schools for their children. Indiana also offers more digital learning elements than 45 other states and can boast a pretty decent record of teacher quality measures that put the public in the drivers seat. These are just a few of the critical pieces that leaders have put in place to ensure that parent power in Indiana is more than a dream.”


Voucher programs allow parents to use government funding to send their children to the public or private school of their choice. According to the Indiana Department of Education, over 19,000 students are using the school vouchers this year. That more than doubles last year's total.



The following are the report's top 10 rankings for school voucher programs:
