Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the differences between schools of choice and neighborhood schools in their Grade 9 academic performance in the 2018 STAAR EOC exams. Inferential statistical analysis of the data revealed a significant difference between the two types of schools in their EOC exam passing rates in all three content areas for students who were not at-risk and who were not in poverty. In contrast, no significant differences were revealed between the two types of schools in the EOC exam passing rates of their CATE and Non-CATE students. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
