Choice System theorists (Friedman, Chubb, Moe, among others) argued that competition between schools in school markets and the search for a match between the needs of the student and those of the school, are two factors that could affect school switching. This article analyzes the effect of competition and the changes in schools' characteristics that could affect this school-student fit, in school switching in Chile from 2005 to 2012. The findings support the effect the change of certain school characteristics could have on school switching, proclaimed by the Choice System theorists. However, no evidence was found that competition influences school switching, among schools from the same municipality.
