Toledo School For The Arts consistently outperforms the state and Toledo City school district averages on Ohio state tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 93.7% proficiency in American Government, compared to the state average of 72.6%. The school also maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.3% to 97.8% in recent years, outpacing the state average. Additionally, the school performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and Hispanic students, often ranking in the top quartile or top third of Ohio high schools for these groups.

While Toledo School For The Arts outperforms many of the nearby public high schools in the Toledo City district, such as Woodward High School, Jesup W. Scott High School, and Waite High School, it lags behind the performance of the nearby Toledo Early College High School and Toledo Technology Academy High School, which are also public schools but have consistently higher rankings and test scores. Additionally, the school's ranking for gifted and talented students has declined in recent years, suggesting the need to re-evaluate its programming and support for its highest-achieving students.

Saturday, November 27, 2010

Toledo School for the arts is a great foundation for both students who love the arts but want to pursue a career in another subject matter or plan to continue the arts as their career. TSA is not "that art school that sits there and paints or dances all day". Us students are challenged to be the best that we can be, academically and artistically. Close Quote
