School choice has emerged as an alternative to traditional public education, allowing families to select schools outside their neighborhood. While extensive research has examined its impact on students overall, there is a need to focus on its specific effects on students with disabilities. This article addresses this gap by reviewing 39 quantitative studies analyzing this issue using administrative data. Twenty-eight focus on charter schools, and 18 compare differences in enrollment—usually referred to as the “SPED gap”—between sectors. However, few publications explore factors contributing to these disparities or variations in services provided and their impact on student outcomes. We propose future research should (a) explore outcomes beyond enrollment disparities, including both academic and non-academic aspects, as well as short and long-term consequences; (b) employ rigorous statistical methods; (c) broaden the scope of the investigation to encompass diverse states and contexts, as well as other choice policies.

学校选择和残疾学生：来自行政数据的证据


择校已成为传统公共教育的替代方案，允许家庭选择社区以外的学校。虽然广泛的研究考察了其对学生的整体影响，但有必要关注其对残疾学生的具体影响。本文通过回顾 39 项使用行政数据分析这一问题的定量研究来解决这一差距。 28 项重点关注特许学校，18 项比较各部门之间的入学差异（通常称为“SPED 差距”）。然而，很少有出版物探讨造成所提供服务的这些差异或变化的因素及其对学生成绩的影响。我们建议未来的研究应该（a）探索入学差异之外的结果，包括学术和非学术方面，以及短期和长期后果； (b) 采用严格的统计方法； (c) 扩大调查范围，以涵盖不同的国家和背景以及其他选择政策。
