School choice is great for urban and suburban areas.  In rural areas it simply doesn't work because the schools are just too far apart to meaningfully compete with each other.  Rural areas may need some extra attention going forward to make sure those kids aren't left behind as education improves elsewhere.
Another development that might be less positive is virtual schooling.  More and more kids and parents are opting for that, and the early indications are its outcomes are mediocre.

It's probably true. Online learning requires a lot more dedication from the kid and parents. It would work for a select few but most it will not be good for.

Now if parents are involved, homeschooling is great but you can't just sit the kid in front of a computer and learn. Hopefully laws are passed soon where parents can take their money and use it on homeschooling instead of paying taxes to schools that are failing.
