Madison Avenue School of Arts

There is one school in this area: Madison Avenue School of Arts, a K–7 elementary campus at 1511 Madison Ave in Toledo with 392 students, and it is listed as its own district, Madison Avenue School of Arts. Because it is the only school in the file, there are no peer schools to rank it against internally, so the benchmarks below come from state averages. The data also mixes years: test scores cover 2024-25 and 2025-26, absenteeism and rank cover recent years, the student-teacher ratio is from 2024-25, and per-student spending is from 2018-19.

On the 11 published state tests for 2025-26, the school's average proficiency is 25.5%, compared with a state average of about 60.9%, and not a single test result meets its state average — the typical shortfall is roughly 35 percentage points. Seven of the 11 tests fall below 25% proficiency, while three rise above 40%: fifth-grade ELA at 45.2%, third-grade math at 44.2%, and seventh-grade ELA at 43.6%. The strongest improvements from the prior year were third-grade math (23.3% to 44.2%) and third-grade ELA (6.5% to 21.2%). Fourth grade is the clearest weak spot, with math at 12.1% against a state average of 67.3% and ELA at 14.0% — the largest gaps anywhere in the file.

Beyond test scores, 59.1% of students were chronically absent in 2025-26, and the student-teacher ratio is 43.5 to 1, both far outside typical ranges for U.S. public elementary schools, though the file provides no state figures for comparison. Per-student spending is listed at $6,396, but that figure is roughly seven years older than the current test data, and free/reduced lunch information is blank — unavailable, not an indication of low need. The school ranked 1429 of 1560 schools (8th percentile) in 2025-26 with zero stars, up slightly from the 4th percentile in 2023-24. Averaged across the nine tests reported in both years, the school gained about 2.7 points while the state gained about 0.9 — real but modest progress against a very large gap.
