Summary:
Western Toledo Preparatory Academy is the only school in this area — a small elementary school serving grades K–8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 310 students — and it operates as its own district, Western Toledo Preparatory Academy. Both the school and district receive 1-star ratings. The district ranks 675 of 773 districts statewide (13th percentile), and the school ranked 1,301 of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 17th percentile. Its best recent year was 2024–2025 at the 24th percentile; it was 15th percentile in 2023–2024, so there is no sustained upward trend.
Mathematics is the clearest weakness. In 2025–2026, average math proficiency was 21.3% versus the state's 57.6% — a gap of about 36 percentage points — and every tested math grade sat at least 30.6 points below state, with 7th grade math at just 9.1% versus 48.6% statewide. English Language Arts is comparatively stronger but inconsistent: 5th grade ELA reached 59.0% and 6th grade ELA came within 9.8 points of the state in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, 7th grade ELA scored 65.2%, above the state's 62.9% — the only listed test score in either year where the school exceeded Ohio. That same subject then fell to 31.6%, showing how fragile these bright spots are. Across 2025–2026, 0 of 15 listed tests met or exceeded the state average. In 2024–2025, 8th grade math was 0%, improving to 19.2% but still 32.8 points below state.
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 47.1% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, which likely interacts with low proficiency. Overall proficiency averaged 30.2% versus the state's 60.2%, down from 35.4% versus 59.2% the prior year, widening the gap by about 6.2 points. Algebra I, at 40.0%, is a relative bright spot within math. Student-teacher ratio was 15.5 in 2024–2025, roughly 20 teachers. Free/reduced lunch data was not reported. Families should weigh the school's small size and K–8 continuity against persistent low ratings, weak math outcomes, and high absenteeism.
