Summary:
The 43609 zip code area of Toledo, Ohio is home to 7 public elementary schools, with no middle or high schools in the data set. The schools in this area display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Burroughs Elementary School and Walbridge Elementary School outperforming the Toledo City and Ohio state averages, while others like Marshall STEMM Academy struggle with very low proficiency rates.
A key concern across the schools is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 85.8% in the 2024-2025 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and likely a contributing factor to the wide disparities in academic performance. The data also suggests a potential relationship between per-student spending and school performance, with the higher spending schools tending to have stronger test scores.
The two charter schools in the data set, Explorers Academy of Science and Technology and Mosaic Classical Academy, had mixed results, with Explorers Academy performing below the state averages and Escuela SMART Academy (a public school) outperforming the charters. Overall, the data reveals a complex picture of school performance in the 43609 zip code, with significant challenges that require further investigation and targeted strategies for improvement.
