re: Where has the Voucher System been effective exactly?

That's the other thing. Voucher system or no voucher system, no government program can fix the home life.
The home and supporting family/community environment will make up about 90 percent of whether a student fails or is successful.
That's why I don't see the LA voucher program as being some huge, vast game-changer overall; however, I do like the idea that those parents, single moms or not, have the possibility to get their child out of a gutter public school and try an alternative one.

vouchers haven't been used enough to make any meaningful statistics ...

Agree 100% on the home environment being the most important. If you listen to the stories of Dr. Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, and others, they all trace their success basically back to the importance their parents placed on education. However, the reason I think private education can win out in a voucher system and prove to be much more valuable than government subsidized schools is because it will provide incentive to improve vs more funding for failure. The only problem I have now is I can't find many examples of its implementation.
