Half of school mergers lead to lower standards
A serious problem for the effectiveness of school choice:
Mergers between schools are almost as unsuccessful as tie-ups in the corporate world with 55 per cent leading to lower educational standards. By comparison, 50-70 per cent of company mergers fail to achieve their objectives and, on average, lead to a 10 per cent fall in share prices for a year following a deal.

Check out my alma mater, Parkside, which recently became Parkside Federation, and got a write-up in the Economist as a role model.
