Summary

Whiteford Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the Sylvania Schools district, located at 4708 Whiteford Rd in Toledo, OH, and serving 418 students. It is a mid-tier school within a high-performing district: Sylvania Schools ranks 177th out of 773 Ohio districts, while Whiteford ranked 743rd out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). Its rank has fluctuated, and its free/reduced lunch rate was 48.56%, chronic absenteeism was 15.5%, and its student–teacher ratio was 13.7:1.

Among nearby Sylvania Schools elementaries, Whiteford is at the lower end. In 2025–2026, Maplewood Elementary was 82nd percentile, Sylvan Elementary 81st, Hill View Elementary 76th, Stranahan Elementary 54th, and Whiteford 52nd. Test scores split by grade: 3rd grade is competitive (math 74%, ELA 76.5%), 4th grade is above state but below district, and 5th grade is a major weakness. In 5th grade, math was 42.6% vs. district 71% and state 59.1%, and science was 57.4% vs. district 78.5% and state 62.7%—the lowest among same-district nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 15.5%, highest among Sylvania peers: Maplewood 5.4%, Sylvan 7.4%, Stranahan 12.2%, and Hill View 13.5%. Whiteford improved from 28.4% in 2021–2022 but still stands out. Class size is small at 13.7:1. Hill View has similar demographics and class size yet ranks much higher, suggesting other factors matter.

Encouraging signs include 3rd and 4th grade performance and special education results: special education students ranked 77th percentile in 2025–2026 and 84th in 2024–2025, above the school’s overall 52nd percentile. Low socioeconomic status students ranked 35th percentile in 2025–2026, down from 59th. The 5th grade decline is the clearest red flag: math dropped from 62.5% in 4th grade in 2024–2025 to 42.6% in 5th grade the next year, a 19.9-point drop, while ELA improved. In the broader area, Whiteford outperforms nearby Washington Local schools like Mcgregor Elementary, Hiawatha Elementary, and Monac Elementary, plus Hawkins STEAM Elementary, but underperforms Toledo City’s Elmhurst Elementary and Grove Patterson Academy Elementary. Overall, Whiteford is a solid but not top-tier option in the immediate vicinity, with 5th grade math/science and absenteeism the key areas to watch.
