Summary:
Zip code 43605 has nine schools — eight elementary or K–8 buildings and one high school, with no standalone middle or alternative schools — enrolling 3,908 students; seven are in Toledo City, while Kenmore Preparatory Academy dba Toledo Preparatory Academy and L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted are their own independent districts. Because there are no middle schools here, middle grades are served inside K–8 and PK–8 buildings.
L. Hollingworth is the clear academic standout: the best rank in the group (1,073 of 1,560, 31st percentile, 2 stars), the lowest chronic absenteeism at 27.4% against the Toledo City rate of 39.8%, and the highest average proficiency at 48.3%. It even beats Ohio in 8th grade science (69.2%) and 8th grade math (61.5%), though 7th grade math is only 11.1%. Within Toledo City, Oakdale Elementary (29.4% average, 35.7% absenteeism) and Navarre Elementary (29.6% average) sit right at the district elementary average of about 29.3%, with Navarre strong in 5th grade science (48.0%) and ELA (60.0%).
The concerns are significant. Kenmore Prep posts decent 3rd and 4th grade results but 0% in 6th and 8th grade math and the highest absenteeism in the zip at 76.1%. East Broadway (2nd percentile, 11.9% average) and Birmingham (4th percentile, declining ranks) are the lowest performers, while Garfield sits at the 7th percentile. Waite High School, the largest school at 937 students, graduates 72.3% (district: 80.7%), has 58.1% absenteeism, and scores near 12% in Geometry and Algebra I. Across the zip, math trails ELA, absenteeism is high, and free/reduced-price lunch data is unavailable.
