Local Charter Schools

As a follow-up to last week's post on charter schools in Ohio, this one looks at local charter schools serving Cincinnati. You may have read last week about the most recent local charter school that closed with little notice (Silverton charter school shut down - 5/7/09).

So, how are charter schools doing locally? Overall, the picture looks bleak, although there are four schools who do rank "effective" and four who rank in "continuous improvement" according to the Ohio Department of Education. Below is a spreadsheet that contains a list of the 25 local charter schools along with basic information such as street address, enrollment, designation, graduation rate (if available) and performance index.

There are five designations that the State uses for student performance in schools. If we picked a letter grade for each designation, it would go like this:
A-Excellent
B-Effective
C-Continuous Improvement
D-Academic Watch
F-Academic Emergency

Of the local charter schools, none are excellent, four are effective, four are continuous improvement, five are academic watch, and eleven are academic emergency. Use the scroll bars to view all of the data.
