Proponents of education choice contend that TCAP and similar state assessments are criterion-referenced to public school standards and pedagogical models like Common Core, making them improper measuring sticks for private schools that deliberately teach different curricula. They cite a 2026 EdChoice survey finding that the most common reason parents switch schools is unmet academic needs.
