Introduction

Those who oppose charter schools are quick to compare their performance to

statewide average scores for traditional district-operated public schools. In Ohio, for

example, the “Coalition for Public Education”—a front organization funded by the Ohio

Federation of Teachers and the Ohio Education Association—issued a press release in

August comparing average charter school performance to average district school

performance on state tests administered during 2004-05. Not surprisingly, charter schools

do not compare well on such measures, largely because they are only allowed to operate

in the state’s lowest performing districts (those rated in Academic Emergency or

Academic Watch by the Ohio Department of Education) and for the most part they serve

severely disadvantaged pupils.

This analysis takes Ohio’s 2005 School Report Card data from the Ohio

Department of Education and provides a far more appropriate and valid “apples-to-

apples” comparison, examining charter-school achievement alongside that of district

schools in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton. This approach yields a more

accurate and balanced comparison—and the results will show fair-minded observers that

the performance of charter pupils in those four cities is notably better than charter

opponents want people to think. The analysis also shows that: 1) improving student

achievement remains a tremendous challenge for both sectors of public schooling in

urban Ohio; 2) state-wide, little of value can be learned from generalizing about charter

school performance because there is such great variation in their academic performance;

and 3) in some cases, charter schools are outperforming similar district schools, and

several of those schools are doing amazing work with Ohio’s neediest children.

Overview Comparing Averages

The average performance of Ohio’s charter schools leaves much to be desired, but

so does the average performance of Ohio’s urban school systems where most charter

schools are located. None of the four urban districts examined here met the statewide

achievement average, nor did any of them meet the state’s 75% proficiency goal in any

grade or subject.

To provide a balanced snapshot of the average performance of charter schools, the

following graphs compare them to the average performance of their surrounding district

schools. The measures are 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 8th grade math and reading scores on statewide

tests administered in 2004-05. Charter schools outperformed their districts in some

subjects and grades; in others, the district schools did better. In Cincinnati and Columbus,

districts generally outperformed charters, but in Cleveland performance was split. Dayton

district schools and charter schools performed almost equally in all grades except 8th,

where charters pulled strongly ahead.

Looking at Individual Schools

When comparing individual charter schools in these four cities with the average

performance of the four districts combined, we see how little can be learned from

generalizing about charter school performance. The graph below depicts scores of charter

schools in comparison to the combined urban district averages. Each diamond/square on

the graph represents the performance of an individual charter school in relation to the

combined urban district averages. The level of variation emphasizes the wide variation in

individual school performance.

Graph V: Individual Charter School Comparison to District Average in


Random distribution of charter schools in those four cities

* Blue dashed line represents four-city district school average score for 4th grade reading.

* Pink dotted line represents four-city district school average score for 4th grade math.

This graph shows that there are some charter schools that have outperformed both

the urban district average and surpassed the statewide goal of 75%. Ohio needs more

schools—district and charter alike—with students performing at such high levels. The

graph also shows that many charter schools performed similarly to district schools

and some scored well below district schools.

The next four chapters will provide a more in-depth analysis of the performance

of charter and district schools in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton.

Snapshot: Cincinnati (August 2005) State-wide Tests

Cincinnati graphs I and II compare the performance of Cincinnati-area charter

schools with that of Cincinnati Public Schools. The measures are 4th and 6th grade scores

on statewide tests administered in 2004-05. For this city and the three that follow, only 4th

and 6th grade scores were depicted because those two grades have been the standard

measure in Ohio for the last decade. Graphs for 3rd and 8th grade scores can be found in

Appendix A. The graphs make it clear that, on average, district schools do not meet the

proficiency goal in reading or math and most charter schools also struggle to attain this

goal. Overall, the results show that a wide gap remains between the student achievement

in most of these schools (district and charter alike) and the levels expected by the state

standards.

On the positive side, the graphs also show that some Cincinnati-area charter

schools surpassed the Cincinnati Public Schools average and surpassed (or approached)

the 75% proficiency goal in math, reading or both. For example, in 4th and 6th grade, the

W.E.B. Dubois Academy met or surpassed the 75% proficiency goal in both reading and

math. In addition, while many schools struggle to get their students to meet the 75%

proficiency goal in math, in 4th grade the Cincinnati College Prep School far exceeds it.

School Report Card Ratings

The Ohio Department of Education assigns one of five labels to every public

school, whether district-operated or charter: Excellent, Effective, Continuous

Improvement, Academic Watch, or Academic Emergency. Graphs III and IV compare

the school ratings for Cincinnati-area charter schools with Cincinnati district schools

serving elementary and middle school students. Overall, these graphs show that district

schools are outperforming Cincinnati-area charter schools.

School Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

According to the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), all students are

expected to reach the “proficient” level in reading and math by 2013-14. The state has

established annual goals that schools are expected to meet to show that they are making

“adequate yearly progress” toward this goal. Graphs V and VI compare the AYP ratings

for Cincinnati-area charter schools with Cincinnati district schools serving elementary

and middle school students. Overall, these graphs show that a higher percentage of

district schools made AYP in 2004-05 than charter schools.

Snapshot: Cleveland (August 2005) State-wide Tests

Cleveland Graphs I and II compare the performance of Cleveland-area charter

schools with that of Cleveland Public Schools. The measures are 4th and 6th grade scores

on statewide tests administered in 2004-05. The graphs show that, on average, district

schools do not meet the proficiency goal in reading or math and most charter schools

struggle to attain this goal. Overall, the results show that a wide gap remains between the

student achievement in most of these schools (district and charter alike), and the levels

expected by the state.

Some Cleveland-area charter schools, however, are accomplishing remarkable

things. Graph I below shows that in 4th grade, four Cleveland-area charter schools

surpassed the 75% proficiency goal in reading and one surpassed the proficiency goals in

reading and math. Graph II shows that in 6th grade, six of the Cleveland-area charter

schools surpassed the district average in math and three of these schools surpassed the

75% proficiency goal in math.

Snapshot: Columbus (August 2005) State-wide Tests

Columbus Graphs I and II compare the performance of Columbus-area charter

schools with that of Columbus Public Schools. The measures are 4th and 6th grade scores

on statewide tests administered in 2004-05. Few charter schools in the Columbus area

were assigned report cards by the state for the 2005 school year. Many had too few

students to warrant a report card and others had not been open long enough to receive a

state report card. Since, Columbus has many charter schools that are not represented here;

the charts do not reflect the whole story.

The graphs show that, on average, district schools do not meet the proficiency

goal in reading or math and no charter schools have attained this goal. The results show

that a wide gap remains between the student achievement in most of these schools

(district and charter alike) and the levels expected by the state standards.

The state assigns one of five labels to every public school, whether district-

operated or charter: Excellent, Effective, Continuous Improvement, Academic Watch, or

Academic Emergency. Graphs III and IV compare the school ratings for Dayton charter

schools and Dayton district schools serving elementary and middle school students.

Overall, the graphs show that Dayton district schools out-performed the Dayton-area

charter schools on this measure. The bad news here is that Dayton does not have a public

elementary school – district or charter – that is rated Effective or Excellent.

reach the “proficient” level in reading and mathematics by 2013-14. The state has

established annual objectives that schools are expected to meet to show that they are

making “adequate yearly progress” toward meeting this goal. Graphs V and VI compare

the AYP ratings for Dayton charter schools and Dayton district schools serving

elementary and middle school students. The graphs show that a higher percentage of

district schools made AYP in 2004-05 than charter schools.

Conclusion Ohio’s charter schools are not performing as poorly as critics would have you

believe. There are many high performing charter schools throughout the state. There is,

however, tremendous room for improvement for them, as well as for district-run public

schools in urban Ohio. School leaders must look toward the successes of high performing

schools in whatever sector they can be found and should replicate those results

throughout the state.

Improving the academic performance of Ohio’s neediest children in charter

schools is no small feat. The current level of funding that charter schools receive will not

help them overcome the challenges ahead. As reported in Charter School Funding:

Inequity’s Next Frontier, Ohio’s charter schools are among the worst-funded in the

United States, and they get no facility dollars. Charter schools receive 31% less funding

per student than district schools, despite the fact that all are public schools. That

translates into $2,564 less per pupil! The expectations for district and charter schools are

the same, yet charter schools are expected to produce equal or superior results with much

less funding.

Methodology

• All data were compiled from Ohio State Report Cards, which can be found at http://ilrc.ode.state.oh.us/schools/Comm_School_list.asp

• All graphs reflect every school with a report card and data available in that subject and grade for school year 2004-5. Some charter schools did not have data reported. There are multiple reasons for this: the school opened or closed this year, it didn’t report data, it has fewer than 30 students, it serves grades not included in our analyses, etc.

• High schools were removed from all statistics. The data analyzed here are for schools serving grades K-8 or portions thereof.

• Electronic schools were removed from data used for analysis.
