Summary

Toledo Blade Elementary School in North Port, FL, serves 841 students in grades PK through 5 and is a high-performing school within the highly-ranked Sarasota County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 70 districts in Florida.

Toledo Blade stands out for its consistent academic excellence, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. Its math proficiency is particularly impressive, with 83% of 4th and 5th graders meeting state standards in the 2025-2026 school year, well above the state average of 65% and 62%, respectively. This performance surpasses nearby Atwater Elementary (78th percentile) and Cranberry Elementary (70th percentile), and dramatically outperforms schools in the neighboring Charlotte County district, such as Liberty Elementary (59th percentile) and Neil Armstrong Elementary (32nd percentile). The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,895) than lower-performing Sarasota peers like Lamarque Elementary ($17,128), suggesting efficient use of resources.

One of the most notable findings is the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate, which was just 2.9% in the 2022-2023 school year—far below the district average of 14.0% and the state average of 30.9%. While this rate increased to 18.2% in 2023-2024, it remains below the district (20.1%) and state (31.4%) averages, and is much lower than nearby schools like Lamarque Elementary (27.5%) and Atwater Elementary (28.1%). This consistency in attendance and academic performance makes Toledo Blade a reliable choice for families in the North Port area, especially when compared to schools just a few miles away in Charlotte County, such as Deep Creek Elementary, where 5th-grade science proficiency (48%) is nearly half of Toledo Blade's (79%).
