Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 258 students. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which is ranked 658 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Rosa Parks Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a ranking between 1400-1600 out of around 1600 Ohio elementary schools over the past several years.

The school struggles across a range of key metrics, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 52.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the Toledo City and state averages. Students at Rosa Parks Elementary also perform poorly on state assessments compared to the Toledo City and Ohio averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10.3% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 32.9% for Toledo City and 63.4% for Ohio. Math proficiency rates are especially low, with 0% proficiency in 5th-8th grade. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, with its African American students, low-socioeconomic status students, and disabled students all ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools in their respective subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Toledo City district, such as Robinson Elementary, Glenwood Elementary, and Leverette Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar low rankings and test scores to Rosa Parks Elementary, suggesting systemic challenges within the Toledo City school system. In contrast, the charter schools near Rosa Parks Elementary, such as Imagine Environmental Science Academy and Rise & Shine Academy, generally outperform Rosa Parks and the other Toledo City public schools on test scores and other metrics, highlighting the potential for alternative school models to better serve the needs of students in this area.
