- The software used for this study was Street Atlas USA, 2004, from Delorme.
- There were a total of 170 public schools in the dataset downloaded from the Core of Common Data, but we only have information on voucher competition for 151 schools. The reason is that 14 were listed as “ungraded,” three schools served only pre-K and kindergarten, and we were unable to match test scores for two of the schools using data from the D.C. Department of Education website.
