Summary

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 347 students in grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio. The school is part of the Western Toledo Preparatory Academy district, which is ranked 641 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement and engagement. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 49.2% to 59.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Holloway Elementary (25.1%) and Dorr Street Elementary (25.1%). The school's performance on state assessments is also well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 32.3% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 61.3%, and math proficiency rates ranging from 0% in 8th grade to 46.7% in 3rd grade.

While the school's African American students perform relatively better than the overall student population, the school's female, male, and low socioeconomic status students all rank in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates and improving academic performance, particularly for these subgroups, should be top priorities for the school and district leadership. Comparisons to nearby schools like Horizon Science Academy-Springfield, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts, highlight the need for Western Toledo Preparatory Academy to make significant improvements to better serve its students.
