Where has the Voucher System been effective exactly?

I'm looking for statistics on it, can't find much meaningful evidence. Could be from a lack of reporting on a less than liberal topic, but whatever. Anybody here attended/had their kids attend schools using vouchers?

I can't help you with your query, however for political reasons the word "voucher" needs to changed to "credit".

Define what you think effective is or isn't.

I know a little black kid from the ghetto who is being helped tremendously by a voucher. His parents realized they didn't want this kid being "ghetto'd" and took the voucher to give this little kid a chance.
And this kid is one of the smartest in the class.

One can't depend on stats from isolated areas. If the surrounding areas do not have vouchers, then the area with vouchers are excused from failure.
I learned that in the Chicago gun law thread

In regards to Louisiana's voucher system, I don't think you can measure it's effectiveness yet. It's only been in place what...two years?
If the Jindal Administration tries to tell you it's a raving success, they're blowing smoke up your arse. If the Leftists and teachers unions try to tell you it's a failure, they're lying.
No one really knows at this point. One thing is certain. There are many parents who could not previously get their kids out of a shithole government school who are happy they now have a choice to send their children elsewhere.

It's my perception that vouchers have had a very positive impact in Orleans Parish.

The Voucher System as outlined by it's creator, Milton Friedman, has never been tried... anywhere. So we cannot say how effective it's been.
The voucher systems that have been implemented are designed to allow mobility for kids in failing school districts. Friedman said that for vouchers to work they have to be available to EVERYONE. It's not supposed to be a tool for equality or social engineering. It's designed to introduce free market forces into K-12 which historically is FAR from free market.
