Summary

Woodward High School is a public high school in Toledo, Ohio, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 595 students. 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. Woodward High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 750-826 out of around 800-850 high schools.

Woodward High School faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement, graduation rates, and attendance. The school has had consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 62.2% to 77.6% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 85-90% and the Toledo City district average of around 75-80%. Additionally, Woodward High School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 59.3% in recent years, more than double the state average of around 15-20% and the Toledo City district average of around 30-35%. The school's performance on state standardized tests is also significantly below the state and Toledo City district averages across all subject areas.

Interestingly, Woodward High School's performance is consistently lower than the other high schools in the Toledo City district, such as Start High School, Jesup W. Scott High School, and Waite High School, which perform significantly better across various metrics. The school's low performance may be influenced by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 70-80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support the diverse student population could be key strategies to improve overall student outcomes at Woodward High School.
