Summary:
Toledo School For The Arts is the only school in the Toledo School For The Arts district—one high school and no elementary, middle, or alternative schools—serving grades 6–12 with 750 students, so there are no local peer schools to compare it with and the information below describes this school over time and against Ohio averages.
The strongest results for parents to note are in social studies and English II. In 2025–2026, American Government scored 90.2% versus Ohio’s 71.6%, and American History scored 83.2% versus 73.2%. English II scored 79.1% versus the state’s 62.7%, though it declined from 87.2% the prior year. Biology also remained above state: 74.8% versus 67.0%. The graduation rate is high at 95.3%, but chronic absenteeism is 20.5%, meaning about one in five students is chronically absent. Middle-school English language arts improved across all three grades: 6th grade rose from 54.5% to 62.7%, 7th grade from 56.6% to 61.9%, and 8th grade from 49.6% to 58.4%; 7th-grade ELA remained just below Ohio’s 62.7%.
Mathematics is the clearest academic weakness. Geometry scored 24.1% versus Ohio’s 43.3%, Algebra I scored 46.8% versus 61.6%, 6th-grade math scored 45.2% versus 56.2%, 7th-grade math scored 30.6% versus 48.6%, and 8th-grade math scored 36.0% versus 52.0%. Science is mixed: 8th-grade Science was 56.5% versus 61.2%, while Biology stayed above state. Rankings are inconsistent: the district summary places the school at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, while the 2025–2026 rank history shows the 54th percentile and 3 stars, after 69th and 67th percentiles in the prior two years. The school enrolls 51.33% free/reduced-lunch students and has a 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio; per-student spending is listed as $8,780 for 2018–2019, which is not current.
