Summary

Longfellow Elementary School is a PK–8 school with 471 students at 1955 W Laskey Rd in Toledo, Ohio, part of the Toledo City district, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 1,420th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 9th percentile — with 0 stars. Its district ranked 662nd of 773 districts (14th percentile, 1 star). The school's trajectory has been downward: it sat at the 37th percentile in 2015–2016 and hovered between the 16th and 21st percentiles from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025 before falling to the 9th percentile. Chronic absenteeism reached 40.4% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district's 39.8% and a reversal from prior years when Longfellow was below the district rate. The student-teacher ratio rose to 21.4 in 2024–2025 from 17.1 in 2022–2023.

Nearby schools show what is possible in the same area. Elmhurst Elementary School, 1.13 miles away and in the same district, is at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, 14.0% chronic absenteeism, and a simple average proficiency near 68% — versus roughly 21% at Longfellow. The Washington Local schools Meadowvale Elementary School (42nd percentile), Silver Creek Elementary School (27th), and Hiawatha Elementary School (27th) also post higher proficiency and much lower absenteeism. Longfellow is closer to Whittier Elementary School (6th percentile, 45.0% absenteeism) and McKinley STEMM Academy (9th percentile, 43.1%).

On 2025–2026 tests, only 3rd grade math (32.5%), 6th grade math (37.7%), and 3rd grade ELA (37.5%) beat the Toledo City rate, and all stayed far below state averages. Weak spots are concentrated in middle-school math and science: 8th grade math 2.4%, 7th grade math 4.5%, 5th grade math 8.3%, 5th grade science 14.6%, and 8th grade science 14.3% — a persistent pattern across years. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are low across the board in 2025–2026, with special education students at the 4th percentile and the other reported student groups between the 7th and 13th percentiles. Per-student spending was $10,247 in 2018–2019, mid-range locally, while outcomes trail several schools spending similar amounts.
