Summary

Waite High School is a public high school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 939 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which is ranked 658 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Waite High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a 1-star rating as well.

Waite High School faces significant academic and attendance challenges compared to both state and local averages. The school has had a four-year graduation rate ranging from 66.3% to 77.6% in recent years, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 85%. Additionally, Waite High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 38.9% to 64.8% in recent years, much higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are consistently lower than the Toledo City and Ohio state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates often less than half the state average.

While Waite High School's struggles are not unique within the Toledo City district, the data suggests that the charter school options in the area, such as Maritime Academy of Toledo and Toledo School for the Arts, may be providing a more effective educational experience for their students, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.
