SunBridge Schools

SunBridge Schools is a K–8 school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 267 students and operating as its own one-school district. Families in this part of Toledo also have nearby Toledo City and Washington Local options, including Shoreland Elementary School and Ottawa River Elementary School.

SunBridge ranks 1343rd of 1560 Ohio schools in 2025–26 — the 14th percentile, or 1 star. That is the school's highest percentile in the years shown (earlier years were 5th, 3rd, 1st and 2nd), so the trend is upward, but from a very low starting point. The most striking concern is attendance: 87.8% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, up from 69.4% the year before and 60.0% the year before that. That is 26.7 percentage points higher than the next-highest nearby school, Bennett Venture Academy (61.1%), and more than six times Shoreland Elementary School's 14.1%. Absenteeism this high makes steady academic progress much harder to achieve.

Test results are below state averages in most subjects and grades, but there are genuine bright spots. Eighth-grade math scores 61.5% against a state average of 52.0% — the highest among nearby schools with comparable data — and fourth-grade English language arts scores 58.3%, close to the state's 61.8%. The weakest areas are middle-grade reading (13.0% in 6th grade vs 56.0% statewide; 26.7% in 5th vs 70.4%) and science (20.0% in 5th grade, 23.1% in 8th). Several grades improved sharply over the prior year, though 6th-grade ELA fell. Among subgroups, students with disabilities rank in the 59th percentile with 3 stars, well above the school's overall standing, while low-income students rank in the 14th percentile. The student-teacher ratio is 26.7, the highest among nearby schools, and the only spending figure available (2018–19) is $8,805 per student. Attendance, middle-grade reading and science, and class size look like the key priorities to watch.
