Abstract	Policy Matters Ohio looked at schools rated the highest over a two-year period in each of Ohio's eight largest urban districts. State, school, and district data were used to examine schools--district-run and charter--that were rated Excellent or higher for either the 2010-11 or the 2011-12 school year or both. The number of schools examined ranged from two each in Canton, Dayton, and Youngstown to 22 in Cleveland; overall, the study included 57 district and 27 charter schools. Findings revealed that most top-rated schools are not reaching an equal share of the students with the fewest opportunities in Ohio's urban districts. This executive summary highlights the most significant findings of the study, including: (1) High-rated schools, on average, serve a lower percentage of students with disabilities, of students in poverty and of minority students than Ohio's urban districts as a whole; and (2) The majority of Ohio's top-rated urban schools screen students, restrict enrollment, and/or limit class size.
