Polls show that most Americans support school choice. A RealClear Opinion Research poll taken in late June, surveyed 1,000 registered voters. Poll results show that 71% support school choice while 13% opposed school choice.
Nonetheless,
critics of school choice claim that it increases the tuition costs at private
schools. The Heritage Foundation said, not so.
To the contrary, the study by The
Heritage Foundation found that school choice significantly held down the
cost of tuition of private elementary schools and had no impact on tuition at
private high schools….
Over the past 10 years, states that
adopted school choice policies had lower rates of tuition increases than states
that never had school choice policies. When adjusted for inflation, the cost of
tuition rose more slowly in states that had previously adopted school choice.
States without school choice had an average 27.6% increase in tuition, while
states with school choice saw a 15.4% increase, the study found.
