Summary

Walbridge Elementary School in Toledo, OH, is a K–8 school in the Toledo City district serving 264 students, in an area with many other schools in the same district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,144th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (27th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranked 662nd of 773 (14th percentile, 1 star). The school has improved from the 11th percentile in 2020–2021 and 17th in 2021–2022; its best recent year was 2017–2018 at the 35th percentile with 2 stars. Among same-district nearby schools, its 27th percentile is second only to Harvard Elementary School (34th percentile) and above most others, including Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls (25), Escuela SMART Academy (19), and Burroughs Elementary School (13).

Test scores are mixed. Third-grade ELA is a strength at 60.9% proficient, close to Ohio's 63.4% and far above the district's 34.5%; only Harvard Elementary School scored higher nearby. Fifth grade is a bright spot: math, science, and ELA were all 53.8% proficient, with math and science near state averages and the highest among nearby schools. Sixth-grade math reached 44.8%, above the district and tied with Escuela SMART Academy for the best nearby result. Fourth grade is a major weak spot: both math and ELA fell to 14.3% proficient, far below district and state, and down sharply from 2023–2024 when math was 80.6% and ELA 61.3%. Seventh-grade math (15.4%) and ELA (23.1%), plus eighth-grade science (20.0%) and math (20.0%), also lag district and state averages, though eighth-grade ELA improved to 35.0%.

Chronic absenteeism was 41.9% in 2025–2026, above the district's 39.8% but improved from 56.3% in 2021–2022. It is mid-pack among nearby schools. Subgroup results are uneven, with the school ranking in the 76th percentile for African American students, 31st percentile for low-income students, and 25th percentile for special education students. Enrollment is 264, with a 16.5 student-teacher ratio. Overall, Walbridge Elementary School is improving and relatively competitive within its immediate Toledo City peer group, but it remains a 1-star school with proficiency below state averages in many grades, a serious fourth-grade decline, weak middle-grade math/science, and absenteeism still above the district.
