Indiana University professor and Director of the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy Christopher Lubienski reviewed Directional Signals: A New Analysis of the Evolving Private School Choice Landscape. While noting the report’s disregard for relevant existing research, Professor Lubienski nonetheless found it useful for its clear, up-to-date descriptive data.
