Summary

Navarre Elementary School is a K–8 school in the Toledo City district, located on Kingston Avenue in Toledo, Ohio, and serving 345 students within a district that ranks 662nd of 773 Ohio districts (14th percentile, 1 star). Navarre itself ranks 1,278th of 1,560 schools (18th percentile, 1 star), a modest improvement from 21st percentile the prior year and 6th percentile in 2020–2021, but still near the bottom statewide. The school sits slightly above its own district's average while remaining far below state averages.

The most striking number at Navarre is attendance: 54.1% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 39.8% across the district. That is far above several nearby schools, including Escuela SMART Academy (11.9%), L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted (27.4%), Oakdale Elementary School (35.7%), and Raymer Elementary School (43.6%). It is similar to Garfield Elementary School (54.0%) and East Broadway Elementary School (54.3%). The good news is that the rate has come down from 61.2% in 2021–2022.

Academically, Navarre's picture is mixed. Average math proficiency is 28.5% versus 24.0% districtwide and 57.6% statewide, while ELA averages 29.4% versus 34.8% districtwide and 62.1% statewide — so math is a relative strength and ELA a relative weakness. Some bright spots are real: 5th grade ELA reached 60% (district 44.5%), 5th grade science 48% (district 28.1%), and grades 3–5 math averaged 39.1% (district 26.4%). The gap that stands out is middle school, where grades 6–8 ELA averaged just 18.6% against a district average of 31.4%, and 8th grade science was 19.2% against 29.9%. School-effectiveness rankings also vary by student group, running higher for female and low-income students than for male students and students with disabilities. Notably, Navarre has a relatively favorable 14.3 student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than several neighbors, yet L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted gets better results with fewer resources — suggesting attendance and classroom practice matter more than funding here.

Open Quote Exceptional leadership, quality educators, a commitment to resolve the issues that arise and steady progress in the last few years. I know that public education gets a bad rap on a regular basis, but we've been very happy with our school experience. The dedication and above and beyond time commitment is obvious. I wouldn't change the Administrative Leadership for anything in the world. Job well done in a very difficult climate. Close Quote
