Better than 4% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Start High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school at 2010 Tremainsville Rd in Toledo, OH, in the Toledo City district, enrolling 1,105 students. It is larger than Woodward High School (570), Jesup W. Scott High School (754), and Toledo Early College High School (353), but smaller than Whitmer High School (2,113). In 2025–2026, Start ranked 767th of 795 Ohio high schools, at the 4th percentile with 0 stars. Its rank history shows long-term low performance: it generally sat between the 4th and 18th percentile over the last decade, with its best recent year at the 18th percentile in 2022–2023.

Academically, Start’s 2025–2026 End-of-Course proficiency rates are below both the Toledo City district and Ohio averages in every reported subject. Math is the deepest weakness: Algebra I is 8.4% and Geometry is 10.5%, far below the district’s 28.9% and 21.7%. Start’s Algebra I rate is also lower than Woodward’s 15.4% and Scott’s 18.9%, while nearby schools are far ahead—Toledo Technology Academy of Engineering High School has Algebra I at 86.2% and Ottawa Hills High School at 96.3%. Social studies is a relative bright spot: American History is 43.8%, nearly matching the district’s 44.2%, though still 29.4 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism is a major red flag at 53.0%, above the district’s 39.8% and much higher than Whitmer’s 23.6% and Toledo School For The Arts’ 20.5%. The graduation rate is 78.8%—higher than Woodward’s 69.2% and Scott’s 74.6%, but below Whitmer’s 84.7% and the district’s 80.7%.

Start’s subgroup results are low across nearly all reported groups, suggesting broad school-wide challenges. Its student-teacher ratio (13.8) and per-pupil spending are not obvious outliers compared with other Toledo City schools, so resources alone do not explain the outcomes. The trend is not improving overall: some 2025–2026 subject scores rose from 2024–2025, but the rank still fell to the 4th percentile. Start is stronger than Skyway Career Prep High School, but remains in the bottom tier among the district’s comprehensive high schools, while Toledo Early College High School and Toledo Technology Academy of Engineering High School show much higher outcomes are possible nearby.
