Amy Hanauer's January 2002 analysis of the latest enrollment figures from Cleveland's voucher program finds that 99.4 percent of voucher students are enrolled in religious schools. Hanauer points to a consistent decrease of secular school participants and voucher student enrollment in secular schools since the program began in 1996-97.
