Nationally, about 12 percent of all charter schools that have opened in
the past two decades have shut down, according to the National Resource
Center on Charter School Finance & Governance. In Florida, the failure
rate is double, state records show.

If the public school failure rate was even close to being below 24%
with 2 to 3 times the funding, you would have an argument.

These charter schools tend to address the toughest students in places
where the public system has failed.
I would agree most of the problem in these places lie with the lack of
responsible parents but it is no more the fault of the charter system
than it is the public system..

Charter schools tend to cherry pick their students, and then dismiss the
"unruly" ones at a much higher rate than public schools.
