Summary:
This area contains a single school: Horizon Science Academy-Springfield, an elementary school in Toledo serving grades K–8 with 331 students, and it is its own single-school district, Horizon Science Academy-Springfield. Because there is only one school here, the useful comparisons are between grade levels inside the building and between the school and the state of Ohio. The school ranks 991 of 1,560 Ohio schools (36th percentile) and holds a 2-out-of-5 star rating; it was rated 2 stars in each of the last three years and peaked at the 41st percentile in 2024-25.
On the most recent Ohio State Tests, the school scored above the state average in 5 of 14 grade-and-subject measures. Its clear strengths are grade 5, which beat the state in science, math, and English language arts in both tested years, and grade 8, where math stayed ahead of the state and ELA jumped from 34.8% (well below state) to 63.6% (above state). Eighth-grade science remains below state, and the deepest consistent weakness is early-grades reading: grade 3 ELA was 44.7% versus 63.4% statewide and grade 4 ELA was 40.0% versus 61.8%. Math and reading improved overall by roughly 3 to 4 points year over year, while science slipped, largely on a 16.6-point drop in grade 5 science.
Two things matter most for families beyond test scores. First, 39.4% of students were chronically absent in 2025-26 — about two in five — which is very high in absolute terms and may be holding results back. Second, the student-teacher ratio was 13.2 to 1 in 2024-25, which is relatively low, though the per-student spending figure of $8,283 dates back to 2018-19. Poverty data (free/reduced lunch) is not reported, and grade-level cohorts are small, so year-to-year swings of 15 points or more should be read as signals to ask about, not proof of change.
