The Effects of the Louisiana Scholarship Program on Student Achievement after Three Years
Published
by Jonathan N. Mills, Patrick J. Wolf
The Louisiana Scholarship Program (LSP) is a statewide initiative offering publicly-funded vouchers to enroll in local private schools to students in low-performing schools with family income no greater than 250 percent of the poverty line. Initially established in 2008 as a pilot program in New Orleans, the LSP was expanded statewide in 2012. This paper examines the experimental effects of using an LSP scholarship to enroll in a private school on student achievement in the three years following the program’s expansion. This report is summarized in the policy brief [How Has the Louisiana Scholarship Program Affected Students? A Comprehensive Summary of Effects After Three Years](http://campaigns.line58.com/t/r‑i-jllyett-l‑o/) by Jonathan N. Mills and Patrick J. Wolf.
