Summary
Martin Luther King Academy for Boys Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 152 students in the Toledo City district, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 1518th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools — the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars — below its own district average and near the bottom of the state.
Test results are low across nearly every reported grade and subject. Math proficiency was 26.7% in 3rd grade, 5.3% in 4th, and 0% in both 5th and 6th, versus about 26% districtwide and about 61% statewide on average across grades 3–6. ELA averaged roughly 22% proficient, compared with about 36% for the district and about 63% statewide. Chronic absenteeism rose from 26.2% in 2023–2024, when it was better than the district, to 42.8% in 2025–2026, now above the district's 39.8%. Nearby schools with far lower absenteeism — Escuela SMART Academy (11.9%), Old West End Academy Elementary School (14.5%), and Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls (27.3%) — rank much higher, at the 19th, 35th, and 25th percentiles.
Resources do not obviously explain the gap: the school's 13.8 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among nearby same-district schools, and its 2018–2019 spending of $11,643 per student is mid-to-high locally. With only 152 students, single-year percentages can swing on very small groups, but the low results repeat across grades and subjects, and the statewide rank has slid from the 20th percentile in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 to 9th, 7th, and 3rd in the three most recent years. Reported subgroups, including male, low-income, and African American students, all rank in the bottom decile statewide and declined in the latest year.
