Summary

Madison Avenue School of Arts is an elementary school in Toledo, Ohio, serving about 392 students in grades K–7, and it is listed in state data as its own district, ranking 714 of 773 districts statewide (8th percentile, 0 stars). As a school, it ranks 1429 of 1560 in 2025–2026 (8th percentile, 0 stars), continuing a bottom-tier pattern: 4th percentile in 2023–2024 and 8th percentile in each of the last two years, with its last 1-star year back in 2018–2019. Nearby schools are mostly Toledo City elementaries plus one independent charter, L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted, and the area overall performs below state averages — the Toledo City district ranks 662 of 773 (14th percentile, 1 star).

In 2025–2026, Madison Avenue School of Arts scored below the state average in every tested subject and grade, averaging about 25.5% proficiency across 11 tests versus roughly 60.9% statewide. Its strongest results were 5th-grade ELA (45.2%), 7th-grade ELA (43.6%), 3rd-grade math (44.2%) and 7th-grade math (25.0%) — still below state averages, but above the Toledo City district average in those grades. Weakest were 4th-grade math (12.1%), 4th-grade ELA (14.0%), 6th-grade ELA (17.1%), 6th-grade math (17.5%) and 5th-grade science (21.4%). Among nearby schools, Madison's 7th-grade ELA trails only L. Hollingworth (51.9%), and its 7th-grade math trails only Robinson Elementary School (41.2%).

Chronic absenteeism stands at 59.1% in 2025–2026 — the highest among nearby schools and far above the Toledo City district rate of 39.8% — though it has improved from 68.6% in 2021–2022. The student-teacher ratio was 43.5 in 2024–2025, nearly double the next highest nearby school, Spring Elementary School (23.9), and up sharply from 20.9 two years earlier. The only spending figure available, $6,396 per student in 2018–2019, is the lowest among nearby schools with data, though that snapshot is dated. Subgroup rankings are uneven: female students (3rd percentile) and low-income students (8th percentile) rank lowest, while male students (17th percentile) and African American students (21st percentile) rank somewhat higher — all below state norms.
