Summary

Woodward High School is a comprehensive 9–12 school at 701 E Central Avenue in central Toledo, Ohio, serving about 570 students as part of Toledo City schools. Its overall standing sits at the very bottom of Ohio's high schools: 769th of 795 (3rd percentile, zero stars) in 2025–2026, and it has stayed in the 3rd–7th percentile every year for the past decade without ever earning an overall star.

Test results are low across the board and below both the district and the state in all six End-of-Course exams. Math is the deepest concern: Algebra I proficiency is 15.4% against 28.9% district-wide and 61.6% statewide, and Geometry is 10.9%. Still, the direction of travel is positive. The graduation rate rose from 58.3% to 69.2% over four years, and chronic absenteeism fell from 73.7% to 53.6% — both improving faster than the district did. One puzzle worth noting: the school graduates considerably more students than it shows proficiency for, and more than half of students are still chronically absent.

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, Woodward looks similar rather than unusual — Jesup W. Scott High School and Waite High School are both 5th percentile with comparable scores. The sharpest contrast is inside the same district, about three miles away: Toledo Pre-Medical and Health Science Academy (71st percentile, 4 stars) and Toledo Technology Academy of Engineering High School (96th percentile, 5 stars) show a 60-to-90-point proficiency gap. Nearby charters are weaker on key measures — Glass City Academy reports a 35.6% graduation rate and 99.7% chronic absenteeism, and Maritime Academy of Toledo The 87.4% absenteeism — while Toledo School For The Arts (54th percentile, 95.3% graduation) is a clear bright spot. Woodward's student–teacher ratio of 11.8 is comparatively favorable. Note that poverty data is unavailable for the school, spending figures date to 2018–2019, and single-year test swings at a school this size should be read with caution.
