Non-parent here
I'm not a parent, so I can't believe that I'm talking about this.
I have a lot of ambivalence about this voucher business, and I'm still sorting it through, so I have no definite thoughts about whether it's bad or not.
But if I had children and if something were available like this, I would choose the suburban public school option, rather than the religious school option, unless the religious school was a well-established Episcopalian type one.
Honestly, voucher money doesn't seem to be enough to send kids to the type of private school I envision for any children I would have. I'm talking about the La Jolla Country Day, Francis Parker, Bishop's (all schools in my native San Diego) or Andover, Choate, Miss Porter's and Madeira schools. Those type of schools have history, great reputations and strong endowments.
Side topic -- I find all this fascinating because I participated in voluntary integration programs when I was in school and was bused away from my minority-neighborhood school.
