A new report says kids who use school choice scholarships in Pennsylvania are doing better than kids in traditional public schools. The report from the Commonwealth Foundation says kids who take advantage of scholarships have better reading and math scores than similar kids who go to their local, public schools. The report found that 61 percent of scholarship students could read at grade level, compared to just 39 percent of traditional public school students. The gap in math is even wider, with 54 percent of scholarship students at grade level, compared to just 19 percent of public school students. The report says 99 percent of scholarship kids graduate from high school, and 72 percent enroll in college.
