Students who use private school vouchers in Ohio are coming from wealthier families than previous voucher recipients and are more likely to have attended a private school before getting a voucher, a new study from the Ohio Education Policy Institute suggests. The study looks back at 10-plus years of data from the Ohio Department of Education, across Ohio's five voucher programs. Howard Fleeter, a researcher with the Ohio Education Policy Institute, said the percentage of low-income students using vouchers in Cleveland dropped from 35% to 7% percent as of this year.
