While charters in some parts of Ohio struggled on recent state assessments, the performance of Dayton charter schools was slightly better than that of their school district counterparts. Overall, charters were more likely to be rated in the state's top three performance categories. A larger percentage of the district's schools were rated in "academic emergency." Forty percent of Dayton Public Schools were rated in academic emergency compared to 28 percent of the city's charters. "When you get people invested in the school and they take ownership, you are more apt to see results," said Terry Ryan, vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, which sponsors charter schools in Dayton. Dayton ranks second behind New Orleans for the highest percentage of students attending charter schools.
