Summary

Escuela SMART Academy is a PK–6 school with 287 students on Western Avenue in south Toledo, part of the Toledo City district. It earns 1 star and ranks in the 19th percentile statewide, which is above the district’s 14th percentile but still below the state average. The school’s standout result is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 11.9% in 2025–26, down from 48.5% five years earlier, while the district was at 39.8%. No nearby school is within 15 points—Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls and L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted are closest at about 27%, and Navarre Elementary School and Pickett Elementary School are above 50%.

Academically, the picture splits by grade band. In 2025–26, Escuela SMART beat the district in every math grade tested, by +3.0 points in 4th grade to +20.8 points in 6th grade. Sixth-grade math reached 44.8%, tied for the top result among nearby schools with Walbridge Elementary School—ahead of Navarre Elementary School (17.6%), Pickett Elementary School (15.8%), and Marshall STEMM Academy (6.1%), and well ahead of L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted (23.3%). Fifth-grade science at 40.6% ranked third locally. But early reading lags: 3rd-grade ELA was 21.9% (12.6 points below district) and 4th-grade ELA was 20.6% (15.1 points below district), ranking 8th and 7th among 10 nearby schools.

For English Language Learner students, the school ranks in the 13th percentile, its lowest reported group, and that ranking has slipped over three years. Male students are consistently served better than female students (21st vs. 13th percentile). Low-income students track the overall result at the 19th percentile. Staffing is mid-pack: 15.1 students per teacher, similar to Walbridge Elementary School (16.5) and L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted (16.8). The school improved from the 8th percentile in 2020–21 to a 24th-percentile peak in 2023–24, then eased to 19th. Its composite proficiency of about 35% remains far below the state’s roughly 62%, so the gap to the state—not just to nearby schools—is the main challenge.
