Ohio Department of Education released the results for Charter Schools.

Ohio’s public school districts significantly outperformed charter schools

Of the 3,274 school buildings that received a Performance Index Score (a composite of standardized test performance), 228 of the 281 charter schools ranked in the bottom 25%. To explain that another way, 81% of Ohio’s rated charter schools that fell in the bottom quarter. And finally, one more way: 4 out of 5 charter schools had a rating based on student performance that was in the bottom 1/4 of all of Ohio’s schools. [Point of clarity - these rankings do not include "dropout recovery schools"]

262 charter schools (93%) ranked in the bottom 50%. 9 out of 10 charter schools fell in the bottom half.

Regarding the much-ballyhooed Third Grade Reading Guarantee, the “Holy Grail” of education reform for Ohio’s boys and girls, 81% of Ohio’s 3rd graders scored proficient or above on the 3rd grade OAA. This number is down by 0.4% from last year, meaning that approximately 500 fewer 3rd graders scored proficient than last year. [Perhaps if teachers had been able to spend more time teaching and less time testing...]
