Dayton, Ohio continues to be one of the nation's top charter school markets, with 33 charter schools enrolling nearly 7,000 students. More and more black families are seeking different schooling options for their children. "These folks are simply doing what is in their best interests," said Robert Moore, interim dean of education at Central State University. "A lot of this boils down to what that person desires in their education and life." For a population that traditionally has had few education choices, black families now are taking advantage of increasing options in education. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, nearly 77 percent of black students attended their assigned public school in 1993. Ten years later, that figure dropped to 68 percent.
