Looking at these two metrics, it's remarkable how bad charter school perform. Overall, Ohio school districts have 5 times the rate of students with college degrees that charters have. And Big 8 urban districts (Akron, Canton, Cincinnati. Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown) have twice the rate.
Meanwhile, of the 31 Ohio charter schools that have graduates counted for this metric, 7 (23 percent) had zero graduates with college degrees within six years of graduation.And the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow? That's right.
Only 109 of 3,794 ECOT graduates from 2010 have a college degree today. That's an amazing 2.9 percent. Cleveland -- which had about 100 fewer 2010 graduates as ECOT (not to mention far greater rates of poverty, special education, and minority students) -- had about 3.5 times as many graduates with college degrees as ECOT.
There is only one Ohio charter school with a higher percentage of college graduates than the average Ohio school district -- The Dayton Early College Academy at 42.4 percent -- a remarkably good rate given that Dayton City overall had a 13.6 percent rate. DECA's rate is about the same as suburban districts like Gahanna-Jefferson and North Olmsted, which, considering that about 98 percent of their students come from Dayton, is a great achievement.
But remember that DECA is the exception, not the rule.
Barely 1 in 5 Ohio charter school graduates are enrolled in college within 2 years of graduating high school. More than 3 in 5 school district graduates are, while 2 in 5 urban school district graduates are.
Ultimately, education is about preparing children for lifelong success, not just test scores. Earning a college degree substantially increases lifetime earnings and decreases the likelihood of citizens needing to access the social safety net, as well as running into trouble.
According to this data from the state report card, Ohio charter schools, overall, hurt their students' ability to achieve the million dollar promise of a college education and instead contribute to their students' ability to access the social safety net over their lifetimes.
After $11 billion spent on charters since 1998, is this really the best we can do?
Parents normally seek out eschools and charter schools as the brick and mortar schools have failed to educate them year after year. In Ohio this hold true. Students that have never passed an Ohio Achievement test in elementary school are enrolled in ECOT as high school students and normally without even a middleschool education level. Parents consider themselves extremely fortunate if their children even graduate. ECOT provides that opportunity for them. Many students do come to ECOT to be able to jump into college courses while they are still in high school, but a majority were already under the assumption that they would never graduate. And of course you failed to mention that ECOT Cleveland also had the budget 7 times that of ECOT and enrolled over twice as many students. Cleveland, according to ODE, also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 30%, 3 of 10 students enrolled will not be taught to read nor expected to graduate. Not all students need to be enrolled in college. A high school diploma will guarantee most them of a decent paying job keeping them off the streets, drugs, crime and the welfare ranks. For students enrolling into ECOT so far behind it is unlikely that they can be graduated with in 4 or even 5 years. Do the math, how in the world can ECOT graduate more students than any other school in the entire state and still have a 30% graduation rate? ECOT doesn't give up on students and want them to become viable, tax paying members of Ohio's population.
