I feel like the fall of public schools has nothing to do with Christianity. Public schools have seen increased spending, worse performance, and lots of distractions like wasting school time with political stuff. I hope it all goes away and parents just get vouchers to spend on the best solution for their needs. Competition will lead to better education.

Let me Google that for you. This seems to be a fairly balanced representation of a lot of different studies. Some of it depends on what you view as positive outcomes or better education, but this seems to suggest that overall there seems to be a higher parental satisfaction and better test scores and better outcomes especially for underprivileged people. It doesn't necessarily equate to increased attendance for college or university but that's not always what people want. Getting students to complete through high school at an acceptable level is really what's critical to allow them to make the choice if university is the correct path for them or if work or a trade school is the best path for them. The article even seems to point out that with voucher programs which cause competition with public schools it does cause the public schools to improve slightly as well because now they must compete for the public dollars.
