Summary

Winterfield Venture Academy is a K–8 school at 305 Wenz Rd in Toledo, OH, serving 376 students as its own district near several Toledo City elementaries, other charter schools, and the Ottawa Hills Local district. It is rated 1 star, with a district rank of 631 of 773 (18th percentile), and in 2025–26 it ranked 1,200 of 1,560 schools statewide (23rd percentile, 1 star). Its percentile rank from 2015–16 through 2025–26 ranged only from 13 to 27, always with 1 star; 2025–26 improved over 2024–25 (13th percentile) but remains below its 2018–19 high of 27th percentile.

In 2025–26, proficiency was below Ohio averages in most grades, with some bright spots. Third-grade ELA was 67.9% (above Ohio’s 63.4%), 8th-grade ELA was 55.6%, and 7th-grade math was 44%. Weak areas include 5th-grade math (17.6%), 5th-grade science (20.6%), 8th-grade science (25.9%), and 4th/6th/7th-grade ELA (all below 40%). Rough averages were about 38.5% in math, 47.4% in ELA, and 23.3% in science, versus state averages around 57.6%, 62.1%, and 62.0%; the science gap is about 39 points. Compared with nearby schools, Winterfield generally outperforms McTigue Elementary School, Byrnedale Elementary School, Keyser Elementary School, Glendale-Feilbach Elementary School, and Burroughs Elementary School. Results with Hawkins STEAM Elementary School are mixed; Toledo Preparatory and Fitness Academy and Horizon Science Academy-Springfield are generally stronger, while Ottawa Hills Elementary School is in a much higher tier.

Chronic absenteeism is a major barrier: 46.1% in 2025–26, up from 42.4% in 2024–25 and higher than the Toledo City district average of 39.8%. Only Toledo Preparatory and Fitness Academy (53.9%) and Western Toledo Preparatory Academy (47.1%) were higher, while Hawkins STEAM Elementary School was 22.5% and Ottawa Hills Elementary School was 8.6%. Winterfield reported an 8:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, down from 16.5 in 2023–24 and lower than nearby schools, though broad proficiency gains have not yet followed. The only available spending figure is $8,702 per student in 2018–19, which is old and should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, Winterfield is low-performing but not the weakest nearby; most student-group rankings remain in the bottom quartile, though one student group reached the 60th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26.
