Summary

Hiawatha Elementary School is a grades 1–6 school at 3020 Photos Dr in Toledo, OH, serving 309 students in the Washington Local district, which makes it the smallest of its nearby Washington Local elementary peers. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,146th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 27th percentile with 1 star — down from the 35th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 41st percentile in 2023–2024. The district itself ranks 571st of 773 Ohio districts, in the 26th percentile with 1 star.

Test results fall below both the district and the state in all nine tested grade-subject combinations. The clearest weakness is 4th grade math, where 18.2% of students were proficient, compared with 48.1% in the district and 67.3% statewide; 5th grade science was 42.1%, versus 55.2% district and 62.7% state. The bright spot is 3rd grade English language arts at 59.3%, above the district's 52.5% but still below the state's 63.4%. Among same-district neighbors, Meadowvale Elementary School (42nd percentile, 2 stars), Monac Elementary School (40th, 2 stars) and Mcgregor Elementary School (37th, 2 stars) all outrank Hiawatha, while Silver Creek Elementary School (27th percentile, 1 star) is roughly level with it.

Attendance is the school's strongest trend: chronic absenteeism fell from 38.5% in 2021–2022 to 16.3% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 21.3% and lower than most nearby Washington Local schools. About 61% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 20.3. Subgroup results vary: students from low-income families rank in the 31st percentile, while special education students swung from the 72nd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 14th in 2025–2026 — a change worth watching given the school's small size. Nearby Toledo City schools range widely, from Grove Patterson Academy Elementary School and Elmhurst Elementary School (both 4 stars) to Larchmont Elementary School, DeVeaux Elementary School and Longfellow Elementary School in the single digits to mid-teens, showing that district label alone does not determine school quality.

Staff is snobby,Teachers act like they are holyier than thou, kids who need to be on an IEP..they do nothing for..Teachers are too busy to help kids who need it!! If your kids go here and need extra help in their subjects, don't expect much, If they do need help because they won't get it, teachers are too busy to help your child! so glad my kids are out of there!! They are doing so much better in their New School!! Close Quote
