Material Detail

School choice has long been an important – if not systemically fraught – mechanism allowing families to seek out the best educational model for their children. Historically, the phrase “school choice” signaled that a family was leaving the public school system to pursue either private school or homeschooling options. In a rapidly evolving educational ecosystem, however, the concept of “school choice” is also shifting. The provider ecosystem no longer simply consists of three options – public, private or homeschool. Instead, it has become more kaleidoscopic, with a greater number of options available to parents and students to personalize in- and out-of-school education plans.

As we reflect on our research in this area and look to the future, we remain compelled by the momentum we see from parents looking to find the best educational options fortheir child in an environment where learning gaps and mental health challenges persist in concerning ways.
