Western Toledo Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 219 students in grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio. The school's student population is predominantly African American (68.04%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (11.42%), White (8.68%), and students of two or more races (11.42%). The school is located in the Toledo City district, which is ranked 678 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy consistently underperforms the state averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.1% to 50% in English Language Arts, 12.5% to 38.1% in Mathematics, and 25.8% to 30% in Science. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 49.2% to 59.2% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance for African American and special education students is better than some of the nearby public schools, such as Holloway Elementary, Keyser Elementary, and Hawkins Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in core subject areas but also higher chronic absenteeism rates.

The data suggests that Western Toledo Preparatory Academy could benefit from a focus on improving overall academic performance, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts, as well as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates. Targeted interventions and support for the school's lower-performing student subgroups may also be beneficial. While the school's unique student population presents both challenges and opportunities, the relatively stronger performance of its African American and special education students suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to leverage its strengths and implement targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
