SunBridge Schools

SunBridge Schools is a single-school district in Toledo, Ohio, so the SunBridge Schools district and its one school are effectively the same entity — an elementary-classified building that actually serves grades K–8, with roughly 267 students. Statewide, it ranks 668th of 773 Ohio schools, placing it in the 14th percentile with one star.

There is real progress to report, along with one genuine bright spot. Eighth-grade math is the only one of the 14 reported assessments that beats the state: 61.5% proficient versus 52.0% statewide, a gap of +9.5 points. Fourth-grade English language arts sits essentially at the state line (58.3% vs. 61.8%). Across the nine assessments reported in both years, the school's average more than doubled, from 14.3% to 29.3%, while the state barely moved. Its state ranking has climbed three years running — from the 3rd percentile, to the 5th, to the 14th. Keep in mind that these results rest on small groups; eighth-grade math reflects roughly 13 students, so a single class can swing on just a few students.

The challenges are substantial. Chronic absenteeism stands at 87.8%, meaning only about one in eight students attends regularly enough to avoid that label. Overall, the school averages about 32% proficiency against roughly 60% statewide — a gap of about 28 points. Third-grade math is the widest single deficit (14.7% vs. 62.1%), and science is the weakest subject at about 21.6% against roughly 62%. Sixth-grade ELA was the only assessment to decline, from 34.6% to 13.0%. Some important context is missing: free/reduced lunch data is blank, per-pupil spending ($8,805) dates to 2018-19, and no subgroup data is available.
