Summary
Jones Leadership Academy of Business is a small public school at 430 Nebraska Ave in Toledo, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 with roughly 192 students as part of the Toledo City district. The district itself is low-rated — 662nd of 773 Ohio districts, at the 14th percentile with 1 star — and Jones ranked 734th of 795 schools in 2025–26, the 8th percentile with 0 stars. Over the past decade the school has stayed in the bottom quartile statewide; its best recent year was 2024–25, at the 21st percentile with 1 star.
Jones's standout strengths are getting students to show up and finish. Its graduation rate was 95.0% in 2025–26 and 100% in both 2023–24 and 2024–25, well above the Toledo City district's 80.7%. Among same-district high schools, that leads Woodward High School (69.2%), Jesup W. Scott High School (74.6%), Waite High School (72.3%), and Toledo Public Schools Virtual Academy (90.0%), and comes close to Rossford High School (95.9%) and Toledo School For The Arts (95.3%). Chronic absenteeism was 18.3% in 2025–26 — less than half the district's 39.8% and the lowest among nearby schools.
Academically, test scores are low, especially in math: 7th-grade math 4.4%, 8th-grade math 6.7%, and Geometry 6.5% in 2025–26, with every subject below the state average. Compared with same-district high schools, Jones leads in Biology, Algebra I, English II, and American History but trails in American Government and Geometry. Subgroup rankings are uneven: the school's African American students ranked at the 24th percentile in 2025–26 and 30th in 2024–25, while female, male, and low-income students all ranked in the bottom 10th percentile. Jones has a low student-teacher ratio (9.1) and a small student body, which may support attendance and persistence, though that has not translated into high test proficiency. With small cohorts, single-year swings are common, so one year's numbers should be read cautiously.
