Summary

Toledo Preparatory and Fitness Academy is a K–8 school in Toledo, OH with 292 students, operating as its own district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 973rd out of 1,560 Ohio schools—38th percentile, 2 stars—and its rank history has been unusually volatile: it reached the 77th percentile in 2023–2024, fell to the 32nd percentile in 2024–2025, and recovered slightly to 38th in 2025–2026. Compared with nearby schools, it generally outperforms most Toledo City elementary schools, including Arlington Elementary School, Byrnedale Elementary School, Pickett Elementary School, Keyser Elementary School, Burroughs Elementary School, Old Orchard Elementary School, Walbridge Elementary School, and Winterfield Venture Academy. Harvard Elementary School is a close overall peer, while Ottawa Hills Elementary School performs in a different tier.

Academically, early English Language Arts is a relative strength: in 2025–2026, 3rd grade ELA was 71.4% vs. 63.4% state and 4th grade ELA was 68.2% vs. 61.8% state. ELA then falls below state averages in grades 5–8. Mathematics is the clearest weakness, with every tested grade below the state average—for example, 3rd grade math was 32.1% vs. 62.1% state. Science was also below state in 5th and 8th grades. The school’s state effectiveness rankings for African American students (75th percentile) and special education students (90th percentile) were well above its overall 38th percentile, though effectiveness for low-SES students dropped from the 95th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 50th percentile in 2025–2026.

The most urgent challenge is chronic absenteeism: 53.9% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, up from 45.2% in 2024–2025 and 40.1% in 2023–2024. That is essentially tied with Pickett Elementary School (53.1%) for the highest nearby rate and far above Ottawa Hills Elementary School (8.6%). The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 18.2, the highest among listed nearby schools, and spending per student was $7,247 in 2018–2019—lower than every nearby school listed, though that figure may not reflect current resources. Overall, this is a relatively stronger option than most nearby Toledo City schools but still a mid-low performer statewide, with strengths in early ELA and subgroup effectiveness and risks in math, science, low-SES effectiveness, volatile rankings, and very high absenteeism.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, May 29, 2023

My daughter attended Toledo Preparatory and Fitness academy for the 2022-2023 school year. She will NOT be returning next year. All school year she was bullied and nothing was done.
Her classmates talked about her appearance, the fact she's adopted, her glasses. One girl even slapped her glasses off her face.
They went through her stuff/desk. They slammed her computer shut when she was using It. And even though the classroom was tiny somehow the teacher never saw or heard any of this happening so it was my daughter's word against the other children so "there was nothing they could do".
After speaking to the principal about it he then intimidated my daughter to not tell us what was going on at school or he'd be "very very very upset with her". She came home terrified, crying begging us not to call him anymore. She was scared of making him mad because in her own words "Mr. Green is scary when he's mad at us".
They with held bathroom privileges multiple times. To the point she almost had accidents on her self (she's 10 years old)
A child in a different grade brought a knife in to the school, parents were not notified
and the girl was allowed to come back to school a few weeks later. A parent was mad his car got scratched in the parking lot and threatened to shoot the school up. He was allowed to remain on the premises, and when he was there for events or pick up my child was told to "stay away and ignore him". My 10 year old dreaded going to school because she felt unsafe.
The number one reason we chose Toledo preparatory and fitness academy was the "zero bullying tolerance policy". Yet my daughter was bullied the entire school year. Due to personal issues at home pulling her and putting her in a different school was not an option. I wish it was because of what she had to go through.
My husband even called the superintendent to discuss all these issuses, and he never heard back.
They do not care about the kids. It's all about numbers and money.
Please pick anywhere else for your child to go. Close Quote
