Escuela SMART Academy

Summary:

Escuela SMART Academy is an elementary school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 287 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Escuela SMART Academy faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 15.8% in 2019-2020 to 48.5% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 37.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 62.1% statewide. Escuela SMART Academy's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform significantly worse than their peers statewide, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Ohio elementary schools in these subgroups.

While the nearby schools, such as Walbridge Elementary School, also struggle, they generally perform better than Escuela SMART Academy on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The two charter schools in the area, Madison Avenue School of Arts and L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted, have lower overall performance than Escuela SMART Academy, suggesting that the public school system may be better equipped to serve the local student population.

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.
