The Brookings school choice index

Brookings has released their school choice index:

The 2016 Education and Choice Competition Index

Denver won the top spot for large districts for second year in a row in the 2016 Education Choice and Competition Index (ECCI). The Recovery District serving New Orleans came in second. Denver and the Recovery District were the only two districts in the ECCI that receive grades of A on school choice.

Here are the top 12, of 112.

Many of the school districts in the top 12 spots have had help from economists, including the top 5.  Much of that help has lately been organized through IIPSC, the Institute for Innovation in Public School Choice.
