Summary

Waite High School is a traditional 9–12 high school in the Toledo City district in Toledo, OH, enrolling 937 students, making it the largest high school among nearby comparison schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 757 out of 795 Ohio high schools—the 5th percentile—while Toledo City ranked 662nd of 773 districts with 1 star. Waite’s results are below district and state in every reported End-of-Course subject. Its relative strength is American Government at 44.6%, close to the district’s 45.5% and ahead of Woodward High School, Jesup W. Scott High School, and Toledo Public Schools Virtual Academy, but far below Rossford High School, Maritime Academy of Toledo The, and Toledo School For The Arts.

Mathematics is the clearest weakness. Algebra I is 12.1% and Geometry is 11.8%, far below district and state. English II is 25.5%, Biology 27.6%, and American History 37.4%. Government fell from 55.7% in 2022–2023 to 44.6%, English II from 31.6% to 25.5%, and Algebra I from 19.5% to 12.1%, while Geometry rose from 3.8% to 11.8%. Algebra I is above only Toledo Public Schools Virtual Academy and Maritime Academy of Toledo The among nearby schools; Rossford High School (42.4%) and Toledo School For The Arts (46.8%) are much higher. Geometry is above only Jones Leadership Academy of Business and Woodward High School.

Graduation and attendance are improving but from a low base. Graduation rose from 65.1% in 2021–2022 to 72.3% in 2025–2026, still below Toledo City (80.7%) and nearby Jones Leadership Academy of Business, Rossford High School, Maritime Academy of Toledo The, and Toledo School For The Arts, though above Woodward High School, Eagle Learning Center, and Glass City Academy. Chronic absenteeism improved from 68.2% to 58.1%, but remains about 18 points above the district’s 39.8%. In 2025–2026, most student groups ranked in the lowest percentiles statewide, after earlier bright spots for English learners, students experiencing homelessness, and special education students that were not sustained. Note: free/reduced lunch data is blank for Waite and should not be treated as zero; spending data is from 2018–2019, and some nearby alternative or charter comparisons serve different populations.
