Abstract | This study documents the public costs of high school dropouts in Indiana, and examines how school choice would provide large public benefits by increasing the graduation rate in Indiana public schools. It calculates the annual cost of high school dropouts in Indiana due to lower state income tax payments, increased reliance on Medicaid, and increased incarceration costs. It then examines how competition from higher private school enrollments currently raises public school graduation rates across Indiana's school districts, and calculates the dollar value of the public benefits that would follow from reducing Indiana's public school dropout rate by enacting even a modest school choice program. Key findings include: (1) Indiana spends about as much on dropouts each year after they leave school as it spent when they were in school; and (2) School choice improves public school graduation rates, producing millions in public savings.
