Toledo City

The Toledo City school district in Ohio comprises 52 schools, including 40 elementary schools, 10 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds and academic abilities.

Among the standout schools in the district are Toledo Early College High School and Toledo Technology Academy High School, both of which rank among the top in the state with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These high-performing schools boast high graduation rates, low chronic absenteeism, and strong academic performance. At the elementary level, Grove Patterson Academy Elementary School, Elmhurst Elementary School, and Ottawa River Elementary School also demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, ranking in the top 40% of Ohio elementary schools.

However, the data also reveals stark disparities in performance across the district, with some schools struggling with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor proficiency on state tests. These disparities often correlate with socioeconomic factors, such as high rates of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support, as well as the sharing of best practices from the highest-performing schools, could help address these inequities and improve educational outcomes for all students in the Toledo City school district.
