Summary

Washington Junior High School is a public middle school in Toledo, Ohio, serving 520 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Washington Local School District, which is ranked 556 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Washington Junior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. However, the school's performance on Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course exams is notably stronger, with proficiency rates around 95% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school may have a strong focus on advanced math instruction and support for students in these subjects.

The school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.3% to 35.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Addressing chronic absenteeism through targeted interventions and support for students and families could be a key area for improvement. While Jefferson Junior High School, another school in the same district, also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, nearby schools in other districts, such as Lake Middle School and Perrysburg Junior High School, appear to perform better academically, suggesting opportunities for Washington Junior High School to learn from their practices and strategies.
