Summary:

Toledo Preparatory and Fitness Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 246 students in grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in several grade levels and subject areas on the Ohio State Tests.

In 2023-2024, the school had 95.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 57.4%. The school also had high proficiency rates in 3rd-8th grade English Language Arts, ranging from 63.2% to 92.9%, well above the state averages.

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.

Open Quote My daughter attended Toledo Preparatory and Fitness academy for the 2022-2023 school year. She will NOT be returning next year. All school year she was bullied and nothing was done.
Her classmates talked about her appearance, the fact she's adopted, her glasses. One girl even slapped her glasses off her face.
They went through her stuff/desk. They slammed her computer shut when she was using It. And even though the classroom was tiny somehow the teacher never saw or heard any of this happening so it was my daughter's word against the other children so "there was nothing they could do".
After speaking to the principal about it he then intimidated my daughter to not tell us what was going on at school or he'd be "very very very upset with her". She came home terrified, crying begging us not to call him anymore. She was scared of making him mad because in her own words "Mr. Green is scary when he's mad at us".
They with held bathroom privileges multiple times. To the point she almost had accidents on her self (she's 10 years old)
A child in a different grade brought a knife in to the school, parents were not notified
and the girl was allowed to come back to school a few weeks later. A parent was mad his car got scratched in the parking lot and threatened to shoot the school up. He was allowed to remain on the premises, and when he was there for events or pick up my child was told to "stay away and ignore him". My 10 year old dreaded going to school because she felt unsafe.
The number one reason we chose Toledo preparatory and fitness academy was the "zero bullying tolerance policy". Yet my daughter was bullied the entire school year. Due to personal issues at home pulling her and putting her in a different school was not an option. I wish it was because of what she had to go through.
My husband even called the superintendent to discuss all these issuses, and he never heard back.
They do not care about the kids. It's all about numbers and money.
Please pick anywhere else for your child to go. Close Quote

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.
