several solutions to these under-performing high schools: more effective middle schools so students come to high school prepared; comprehensive high school reform, which includes changes in the way schools are organized, courses geared to the needs and interests of students, and extensive training and support for teachers; and a substantial increase in the resources available to transform or replace the high schools that produce the greatest number of dropouts.

What do vouches have to do with any of this? You're talking about a subset of the population that no private school is going to touch - because if they do, there go the rest of the paying customers.
