Summary:
The L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted, a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio, is the sole elementary school in this data set. With an enrollment of 287 students, the school has consistently low rankings on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, placing in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past few years.
Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates well below the Ohio state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 36.4% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 64.4%. Similarly, in 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate is 40.7% versus the state's 63.4%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite being labeled a "school for talented and gifted" students, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect that designation, with most grade levels performing in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Ohio schools. Further investigation into the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems would be needed to understand the drivers behind the low performance and develop strategies for improvement.
