Summary

Discovery Academy is a K–6 charter school at 2740 W Central Ave in Toledo, Ohio, serving 316 students as its own district. On Ohio’s 2025–2026 statewide school list, it ranks 1397th of 1560 — the 10th percentile, with a 1-star rating; its district rating is 735th of 773, the 5th percentile, 0 stars. The school has fallen from the 28th percentile in 2023–2024 to 17th in 2024–2025 and 10th in 2025–2026, a steep three-year decline.

In 2025–2026, every tested grade and subject fell below Ohio averages, with gaps of 20–44 points. Sixth grade is the sharpest break: math 6 was 12.2% and ELA 6 14.6%, after Discovery’s sixth graders beat the state in both subjects in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism is the defining challenge: 48.0% in 2025–2026, above the Toledo City average of 39.8% and higher than nearby DeVeaux Elementary School (34.1%), Old Orchard Elementary School (38.1%), Longfellow Elementary School (40.4%), and McKinley STEMM Academy (43.1%). Discovery spends $6,843 per student, the lowest in this comparison group — about half of Ottawa Hills Elementary School ($12,674) and Elmhurst Elementary School ($13,144) — while its 15.8 student-teacher ratio is better than Longfellow’s and Monac Elementary School’s 21.4.

Nearby schools show what is possible: Grove Patterson Academy Elementary School, 0.39 miles away, ranks 362nd of 1560 (77th percentile, 4 stars) with 7.8% chronic absenteeism and 100% ELA 3 / 85.7% ELA 5 proficiency, and Elmhurst Elementary School sits at the 71st percentile — both in Toledo City, a district at the 14th percentile. Ottawa Hills Elementary School is at the 98th percentile with 8.6% absenteeism and 83–95% proficiency across grades 3–6. Discovery’s decline is broad-based across student groups, and its historically strongest subgroup — students with disabilities — has fallen from 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2018–2019 to 11th percentile in 2025–2026. The attendance rate and sixth-grade cliff are the two most actionable warning signs; free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and spending figures are from 2018–2019, before the current test scores.
