Summary:
Toledo Preparatory and Fitness Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with an enrollment of 235 students. While the school has seen some fluctuations in its performance, it generally underperforms the state average across several key metrics, suggesting the need for significant improvements to better support its students.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 45.2% in the 2024-2025 school year is alarmingly high, well above the state average. Its standardized test scores are also mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in certain subjects, but many others falling well below, such as 5th grade science proficiency at 27.6% compared to the state average of 63.4%. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $7,247 in 2018-2019 is below the state average, which may be impacting its ability to provide resources and support for its students.
The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 369 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,066 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 in the 2023-2024 school year, this has not translated into consistent academic success, suggesting the need for the school to implement significant improvements to better support its students and improve overall outcomes.
