In an analysis by Stanford University, student test data from the 2007-2008 to the 2013-2013 school years showed that private schools are continuing a trend that will soon cause them to be no more beneficial than public schools.

If you and your family are moving to Columbus and you originally wanted your children to attend local private schools, your local moving company wants to inform you on some of the Ohio private school versus public school statistics.

1) Ohio charter school students have 14 fewer days allotted for reading than the local public schools

2) Ohio charter schools allocate 43 fewer days for learning math, in contrast to local public schools.

3) Ohio charter schools tend to benefit lower income minorities, according to The Columbus Dispatch; receiving 29 more days of reading and 22 more days learning math.

Despite the alarming numbers, the rates are even lower in small towns and rural areas of Ohio.

Although Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education admits that this is great for public schools, meaning that public school education is improving; it also means that charter schools need improvement if they are going to be worth the private and tax-funding that they require.
