Jesup W. Scott High School up 36 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 43620 contains just one school — Jesup W. Scott High School, a 9–12 high school with 754 students in the Toledo City district — so there are no other local elementary, middle, or alternative schools in this data set to compare it against, and families should instead weigh it against district and state averages.

The data show a school facing real challenges. On the 2025–26 Ohio State Tests, no subject reached 40% proficiency: American Government 37.9%, American History 34.0%, Biology 33.1%, Algebra I 18.9%, English II 17.9%, and Geometry 16.6%. Every subject fell below both the district and the state. The widest gap was English II, 44.8 percentage points under the state's 62.7%, and Algebra I trailed the state by 42.7 points. The school's 2025–26 graduation rate is 74.6%, about 6 points under the district's 80.7%, meaning roughly one in four students did not graduate in that cohort. Chronic absenteeism is 49.7% — nearly half the student body — and 9.9 points above the district's 39.8%. In statewide ranking history, the school holds 0 stars in each of the last three years, sitting in the bottom decile (5th to 8th percentile) and ranking 752 of 795 schools in 2025–26.

There are some encouraging signs. Compared with 2024–25, proficiency rose in Biology (+6.4 points), American Government (+6.0), and Geometry (+1.9), though it slipped in English II (-3.7), American History (-0.6), and Algebra I (-0.3). The student-teacher ratio is 14.7 students per teacher (2024–25), and per-student spending is $10,974, though that figure is from 2018–19 and is historical. Free/reduced lunch data was not reported, so economic information is unavailable. Overall, this school's most urgent needs appear to be English II, Algebra I, Geometry, and attendance.
