Summary

Longfellow Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Toledo, Ohio, with an enrollment of 516 students. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which is ranked 658 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longfellow Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Toledo City and Ohio state averages on the Ohio State Tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 21.1% for Toledo City and 56.7% for Ohio. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.6% to 42.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Longfellow's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Whittier Elementary, Larchmont Elementary, and DeVeaux Elementary, which generally outperform Longfellow across various academic metrics.

One notable exception is Elmhurst Elementary, a school in the same district that stands out as a high-performing outlier, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts compared to Longfellow and the district average. The stark contrast in performance between Longfellow and Elmhurst suggests that the Toledo City School District may need to closely examine the factors contributing to these disparities and implement comprehensive strategies to improve educational outcomes across all its schools.
