Summary

Walbridge Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Toledo, Ohio, 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. With 280 students, Walbridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating as well.

Walbridge Elementary stands out for its very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 50.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the Toledo City and state averages. Its test scores are also consistently below district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 36.4% in Toledo City and 64.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, with its White students ranking in the bottom 1% of Ohio elementary schools and its Special Education students in the bottom 30%.

Interestingly, the nearby Martin Luther King Academy, Burroughs Elementary, and Harvard Elementary schools in the Toledo City district also have very low performance, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. Walbridge Elementary's ranking and performance have remained stagnant or declined over the past several years, indicating an inability to meaningfully improve student outcomes despite its slightly higher-than-average spending of $11,470 per student.
