New State Report Card Data Show Low Scores Continue to Plague Ohio’s Charter Schools

The Know Your Charter website – the first in the nation’s to make comprehensive use of statewide data to compare the performance and cost of a state’s charter and local public schools – has updated its data to include the 2014-2015 school year. The new report cards include several new measures, some of which you can now use to compare traditional public and charter schools on the site.

Our latest analysis provides an overview of the 2014-2015 data and how charters and public schools stack up. Included among the findings:

72.5 percent of all state charter funding went to charters that do not perform as well as the local school district; 80 percent of all money sent to eSchools came from higher performing local school districts.
Local public schools vastly outperformed their charter school counterparts on 5 of 7 comparable measures
Charter schools received, on average, $7,850 per pupil compared to just $4,100 for traditional public schools.

The state transferred $942 million to charter schools in the 2014-2015 school year. Yet because the per pupil amount was insufficient to cover the full cost of students who attend charters, local taxpayers had to subsidize $430 million to offset the funding disparity.
