Ilead Spring Meadows, Holland OH

Original Research by School Decision on Ilead Spring Meadows

iLEAD Spring Meadows was a charter school serving grades three through eight in Holland, Ohio. The school closed permanently at the end of the 2022-2023 school year due to lack of funding. As of now, it is no longer operating, and families seeking a K-8 enrollment option in the area must look elsewhere.

During its final year of operation, the school administered Ohio's State Tests across math, English language arts, and science. The test results from 2022-2023 show consistently low proficiency rates across grade levels. In math, students in grades four and five achieved proficiency rates below one-third, while students in grades six, seven, and eight showed no proficiency on the test. English language arts results were similarly weak, with most grades below one-third proficiency, though one seventh-grade cohort reached forty percent. Science results in grade five matched math proficiency at roughly one-third; eighth-grade science results were also in the low-to-mid-range. The school did have some stronger performance in an earlier year: on a 2016-17 social studies test, fourth graders achieved a higher proficiency rate, suggesting some subject and grade-level variation in academic strength, though this earlier data point does not represent the school's overall pattern by its closure year.

The school's enrollment was small, with tested groups typically ranging from around one hundred across the school to as few as six or seven students in some upper-middle grades. Attendance data, demographic information, and free-or-reduced-price-lunch rates were not available in the records. Similarly, no information was provided about special education enrollment, English learner enrollment, or staffing.

Holland is a small village on the eastern edge of Springfield Township in Lucas County, functioning as a suburb of Toledo. The immediate area is primarily car-oriented, built around a commercial corridor anchored by the Spring Meadows Place retail center along Airport Highway and US-23. The residential core is quieter, with a planned grid of homes, and the community is home to Strawberry Acres Park, which hosts an annual strawberry festival and serves as a civic gathering place. The village itself has remained relatively flat in population, though surrounding Springfield Township has seen growth through newer subdivisions. Housing values in the area are modestly above the state benchmark. Employment is driven largely by big-box retail and service businesses along the highway corridor, with some manufacturing and healthcare presence, though most significant employment lies within the broader Toledo metropolitan area.

Since the school has closed, there is no current enrollment pathway or peer environment to describe. Families in Holland now rely on nearby public school districts or other charter and private options. The closure removes what was a sole charter enrollment choice and alters the educational landscape for residents of the township.

This schoolDistrict average, same grade

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
