Summary

Escuela SMART Academy is an elementary school located in Toledo, Ohio, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 277 students. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Escuela SMART Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past 5 school years, with a ranking between 1191 and 1476 out of around 1600 schools. The school faces significant academic challenges, with low student performance on state assessments, where proficiency rates are often less than half the state averages. Additionally, Escuela SMART Academy has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 42.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the Toledo City average and the state average.

While the nearby Navarre Elementary, Martin Luther King Academy, and Arlington Elementary schools also struggle academically, some charter schools in the area, like L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted, perform significantly better than Escuela SMART Academy and the Toledo City district average. The academic challenges faced by Escuela SMART Academy and the nearby Toledo City schools suggest systemic issues that require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address.
