About Toledo Junior Academy

Toledo Junior Academy serves 40 students in kindergarten through eighth grade with a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, providing an intimate learning environment with just 4 full-time equivalent teachers. This regular public elementary school has earned strong recognition, ranking #145 out of 713 schools statewide and placing in the 80th percentile with an impressive 8.0 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating. The school's small enrollment allows for highly personalized attention, where teachers can develop close relationships with students and families throughout their educational journey from kindergarten through middle school.

With such a low student-teacher ratio, children benefit from individualized instruction and support that larger schools often cannot provide. Located on West Sylvania Avenue in Toledo's 43623 ZIP code, the school serves a stable middle-class community where the median household income is $65,986 and median home values average $159,500. The neighborhood reflects a mix of educational backgrounds, with 34% of residents holding bachelor's degrees or higher, while maintaining a relatively low poverty rate of 13.6%.

Toledo Junior Academy operates within Toledo's large city environment, offering families the advantages of urban resources while maintaining the close-knit feel of a small school community.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 40 students, Toledo Junior Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Toledo Junior Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
