This study offers an "apples-to-apples" comparison of charter school and district school achievement in four major Ohio cities: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton. The results reveal that most urban public charter and traditional schools in the state are struggling. The analysis, using 2005 School Report Card data from the Ohio Department of Education, shows that in Cincinnati and Columbus, district schools generally outperformed charters, but in Cleveland performance was split. Dayton district schools and charter schools performed almost equally in all grades, except in 8th grade where charters were ahead. The report also tracks district and charter school ratings and performance over time.
