Glass City Academy's metrics are concerning, with very low four-year graduation rates ranging from 38.3% to 45.4% in recent years, significantly below the state average. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 98.9% to 99.9%, indicating that the vast majority of students are chronically absent.

In comparison, nearby schools like Toledo Early College High School, Rossford High School, and Toledo Technology Academy High School significantly outperform Glass City Academy across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. For example, Toledo Early College High School had a 77.6% four-year graduation rate and proficiency rates ranging from 69.8% to 94.4% on state tests. Glass City Academy's lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios may be contributing factors to its struggles.
