Summary

L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 287 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 1132-1536 out of around 1600 schools.

L. Hollingworth faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 33.8% to 46.1% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also struggles with low test scores, with only 36.4% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 64.4%, and only 36.8% of 8th graders proficient in science compared to 63% statewide. These issues are not unique to L. Hollingworth, as many nearby Toledo public schools, such as East Broadway Elementary, Navarre Elementary, and Escuela SMART Academy, also exhibit high chronic absenteeism and low test scores.

The challenges facing L. Hollingworth appear to be systemic within the Toledo City public school district, as the school's student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, all perform poorly compared to state averages for those subgroups. This suggests that a comprehensive, district-wide approach may be needed to address the root causes and improve educational outcomes for all students in the Toledo area.
