Using "value-added" data from the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools (OAPCS) found that public charter schools outperformed traditional public schools in five districts - Youngstown, Akron, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo - in terms of performance growth in reading and math. Only the Canton and Cleveland district schools outperformed the charter schools in their areas, according to OAPCS. "The news here is that community charter schools in Ohio's Big 8 districts - home to 66 percent of all Ohio charter schools - are performing well and, in most cases, exceeding the performance of the traditional schools," said Bill Sims, OAPCS president and CEO.
