http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1158050628151780.xml?ocedu&coll=2

Ohio has a total of 72,000 students in public charter schools this year, ranking it sixth nationally. According to a new report from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, five cities (Dayton, Youngstown, Toledo, Cincinnati, and Cleveland) in the state rank among the top 10 in charter school "market share" -- the percentage of a city's public school students who attend charter schools. Dayton ranks second in the nation in charter school market share, ranking only behind the restructured New Orleans school system. Twenty eight percent of Dayton's public school students attend the city's charter schools. California leads the nation with 212,000 charter pupils.
