Most of Dayton's public charter schools made gains in test performance last year while more than two-thirds of schools within the school district saw scores decline. Public charter schools made up 12 of the top 20 schools in the city. "If you look at the charter results they are undeniably better than the district on almost all indicators," said Terry Ryan of the pro-charter Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. "But if you look at the district schools, the schools that are performing best are the schools of choice. Something is going on there."
