Summary

Pickett Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Toledo, Ohio, with an enrollment of 239 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.

Pickett Elementary School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient in Science, compared to 32.9% in the Toledo City district and 63.4% statewide. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 54.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Pickett's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the bottom 30% for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Pickett Elementary School is struggling, the performance of other nearby schools in the Toledo City School District is not much better. Most of the surrounding schools, such as Arlington Elementary School and Marshall STEMM Academy, also rank in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools and have similar challenges with low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism. The high rates of poverty and socioeconomic disadvantage in the Pickett Elementary School community likely contribute to the school's poor academic outcomes, and the district's overall low ranking and resource constraints may be limiting the school's ability to effectively support its students.
