Glass City Academy

Summary:

Glass City Academy is a public charter high school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 409 students in grades 11-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with concerning performance across several key metrics.

Glass City Academy's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 38.3% to 45.4% in recent years, significantly lower than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Toledo Early College High School (100%) and Toledo School for the Arts (89.3%). The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, reaching up to 99.9% in the 2020-2021 school year, more than double the state average and much higher than nearby schools. Academically, Glass City Academy's proficiency rates on state tests are significantly below state and local averages across all subject areas.

Compared to nearby schools, Glass City Academy appears to lack the resources, funding, and effective strategies to support student success. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups in the state. Despite its low performance, Glass City Academy has not shown significant improvement over the years, suggesting a need for more comprehensive interventions and support to address the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
