Summary

Northwood Elementary School is the PK–6 building serving 453 students in Northwood Local Schools, located in Northwood, Ohio — a small community just south of Toledo. In 2025–26 it ranked 937th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, the 40th percentile, rated 2 stars, and it has landed between the 40th and 46th percentile every year for a decade: a remarkably steady record with no sustained breakout or slide.

The school's clearest strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 23.6% four years ago to 15.1% — the fourth-lowest rate among eleven nearby schools and far better than the Toledo City schools nearby, several of which run above 50%. Academically, the picture splits by grade. Sixth grade beats the state average in both math and ELA, and fifth-grade ELA is close to state norms. But third- and fourth-grade results lag well behind: third-grade math is 45.6% proficient versus 62.1% statewide, and fourth-grade ELA is 44.0% versus 61.8% — the weakest result in the building. The most meaningful comparison is with Coy Elementary School (1.7 miles away, 4 stars, 75th percentile, 87% proficient in third-grade math) and Lake Elementary School (3.2 miles away, 3 stars, 80.4% in fourth-grade math) — the latter spending roughly $2,400 less per student than Northwood.

Service to specific student groups is the weakest area. Special education students rank in the 24th percentile and low-income students in the 38th, both well below the school's overall standing. Northwood also has a student–teacher ratio of 19.6, heavier than every nearby suburban peer except Lake. The state suppresses Northwood's free/reduced-lunch percentage, so its poverty level can't be compared directly, though test and subgroup results indicate a substantial low-income population. Overall, this is a stable, mid-pack school whose early-grade math and reading program is the clearest place for improvement.
