Summary

Pickett Elementary School is a K–8 school on Blum Street in Toledo, Ohio, serving 209 students as part of the Toledo City district, which itself ranks in the bottom 14 percent of Ohio districts. In 2025–26 the school placed 1,432nd of 1,560 Ohio schools (8th percentile, 0 stars) — roughly 90 places lower than the prior year's 14th percentile — interrupting a real decade-long climb from the 3rd–4th percentile in the mid-2010s to a 13th–15th percentile plateau in 2022–24.

For families weighing nearby options, attendance is the sharpest difference. Pickett's chronic absenteeism rate is 53.1 percent, the highest among its Toledo City neighbors and 13.3 points above the district average of 39.8 percent. Nearby schools show it need not be that way: Escuela SMART Academy, about a mile away with similar enrollment, reports 11.9 percent absenteeism and ranks at the 19th percentile; Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls, half a mile away, reports 27.3 percent and the 25th percentile. Pickett ranks below seven of nine same-district neighbors, though Marshall STEMM Academy, Martin Luther King Academy for Boys Elementary School and Robinson Elementary School rank lower still. Staffing and per-pupil spending look mid-pack.

Academically the picture is uneven. Grade 5 is a bright spot: Math 5 proficiency was 36.8 percent (district 21.8) and Science 5 was 36.8 percent (district 28.1), and the previous year's Grade 5 math class beat the state average. Grade 8 is the opposite — Science 8 at 8.7 percent and Math 8 at 4.3 percent fall far below the district, with Science 8 trailing district every year on record. Overall, proficiency is below the district in 12 of 14 tested grade-subject combinations and below the state in all 14, and results with male students rank at the 1st percentile statewide. Attendance support and the middle grades are the most useful things for parents to ask about.
