The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools' annual "Top 10" study identifies communities with the largest percentages of public school students enrolled in public charter schools. This year's analysis, which examined 2006-2007 enrollment data in communities with at least 10,000 public school students, found New Orleans again leading the list with 57% of its students enrolled in charter schools. Southfield, MI, Dayton, OH, and Washington, DC tie for second with 27 percent of their public school populations in charter schools. A total of twenty-nine communities comprise the top market share list (with many ties in percentages); that compares to 19 a year ago. Eight communities had at least 1/5th of their public school students in public charter schools, an increase from six in the 2005-2006 school year.
