Summary

Toledo School For The Arts is a 6–12 arts-focused charter (community) school with 750 students on 14th Street in downtown Toledo, where it sits among a cluster of large, mostly low-performing high schools. On the 2025–26 state rankings it placed 367th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 54th percentile, 3 stars — but that middling standing masks a long slide: a decade ago TSA was a top-6% school in Ohio, and this year marks its lowest percentile in the ten years of data available.

What holds up is the school's hold on its students. TSA graduates 95.3% of them, well above the Toledo City district rate of 80.7%, and its chronic absenteeism of 20.5% is roughly half the district average of 39.8%. Instruction is clearly strongest in reading and social studies, where English II (+16.4 points) and American Government (+18.6) beat state proficiency by wide margins. Math is the glaring weakness: every math test at every grade level falls below the state, by 11 to 19 points, with Geometry proficiency at just 24.1%. The 2025–26 year also brought declines across nearly every student group, and results for the school's gifted-and-talented students fell from the 72nd percentile two years ago to the 14th.

Context matters here. Every nearby school except Toledo Pre-Medical and Health Science Academy — including Woodward High School, Jesup W. Scott High School, Waite High School, Jones Leadership Academy of Business, and Maritime Academy of Toledo The — ranks in the bottom 10% of the state with zero stars, and TSA spends about $8,780 per pupil versus $10,000 or more in those district schools. The most useful comparison is Toledo Pre-Medical, three miles away: 4 stars, 71st percentile, and higher than TSA in every reported subject except Government and History. If TSA's arts strengths matter more to your child than its math gap, it remains the strongest full-size option in its neighborhood.

Open Quote Toledo School for the arts is a great foundation for both students who love the arts but want to pursue a career in another subject matter or plan to continue the arts as their career. TSA is not "that art school that sits there and paints or dances all day". Us students are challenged to be the best that we can be, academically and artistically. Close Quote
