520 |a This paper reexamines data from the New York City school-choice program. Data were collected in spring 1997 and the following 3 years from low-income public-school students who were eligible for a private-school scholarship and from their parents. Students with missing baseline test scores, which includes all those who were initially in kindergarten and 11 percent of those initially in grades 1-4, were excluded from previous analyses of achievement. Including students with missing baseline test scores increases the sample size by 44 percent. For African American students, the only group to show a significant, positive effect of vouchers on achievement in past studies, the difference in average followup test scores between the treatment group (those offered a voucher) and control group (those not offered a voucher) becomes statistically insignificant at the .05 level and much smaller if the full sample is used. Also, the effect of vouchers is found to be sensitive to the particular way race/ethnicity was defined. For example, if children with a black, non-Hispanic father are added to the sample of children with a black, non-Hispanic mother, the effect of vouchers is smaller and statistically insignificant at conventional levels.
