Summary

Central Trail Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Sylvania, Ohio, serving 667 students as part of Sylvania Schools, which makes it the largest elementary campus in its nearby Sylvania comparison group. The district itself ranks 177 of 773 in Ohio (77th percentile, 4 stars). In 2025–26, Central Trail ranked 405 of 1,560 elementary schools statewide — the 74th percentile with 4 stars. That is comfortably above average, though it reflects a gradual cooling: the school sat in the low-to-mid 80s percentile in 2018–19 and 2022–23, then slipped to 80th in 2023–24, 78th in 2024–25, and 74th in 2025–26.

Academically, Central Trail is above the state average in every tested subject and grade, and essentially at the district average. Fourth grade math is a clear strength at 86.9% proficient, well above the district's 77.7% and the state's 67.3%. Fifth grade is the relative weak point: math came in at 66.4%, below the district's 71.0%, with science (75.4%) and English language arts (80.3%) also trailing district averages. Among Sylvania elementaries, the school sits mid-pack — behind Highland Elementary School (94th percentile), Maplewood Elementary School (82nd), and Sylvan Elementary School (81st), slightly behind Hill View Elementary School (76th), and clearly ahead of Stranahan Elementary School (54th) and Whiteford Elementary School (52nd). Against nearby non-Sylvania schools such as Crissey Elementary School, Hawkins STEAM Elementary School, Western Toledo Preparatory Academy, and Dorr Street Elementary School, Central Trail is in a much stronger academic tier.

Two things stand out most for families. First, attendance: chronic absenteeism was 9.4% in 2025–26, far below the district's 15.2% and a big improvement from 16.4% in 2021–22, though Highland, Maplewood, and Sylvan post even lower rates. Second, equity gaps: low-income students ranked at the 53rd percentile (down from the 73rd in 2023–24) and special education students at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, both below the school's overall 74th. Central Trail has the largest enrollment in its Sylvania group, a student/teacher ratio of 18.0, and lower per-student spending than most Sylvania peers — efficient results, but possible strain on closing those gaps.
