Original Research by School Decision on Maumee Intermediate School
Maumee Intermediate School serves fourth and fifth graders in a regular public elementary setting within the Maumee City Schools district. The school enrolled a small cohort of students split nearly evenly between the two grades. About half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment is predominantly white, with smaller populations of Black, multiracial, and Hispanic students.
On state assessments in 2024-25, Maumee Intermediate's proficiency rates sit in the middle range. The school achieved proficiency in reading and language arts, with roughly seven out of ten students meeting the bar. In mathematics, the rate dropped to about six in ten, a weaker spot. Science proficiency held at roughly seven in ten. A limited data point from 2016-17 showed strong social studies results, though no recent comparable assessment data exists for that subject. Across tested subjects, the school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among schools in Lucas County, a solid if not exceptional standing.
The district itself has begun a significant pedagogical shift toward project-based learning across all classrooms, a change that will affect daily instruction at Maumee Intermediate as faculty integrate that approach into their work. The school was recently renamed from Wayne Trail Elementary as part of a broader district rebranding tied to the school system's move into the Northern Buckeye Athletic Conference. The district has also adopted a new five-year strategic plan that includes placing a certified therapy dog in each of its five schools by the end of 2025, adding a mental health and wellness resource.
The city of Maumee itself is a mixed-use Toledo suburb with a preserved historic downtown along the Maumee River and a car-dependent suburban landscape outside the core. The economy is anchored by logistics, automotive components, and agribusiness, with major employers including Dana Incorporated, The Andersons, UPS, and Stellantis-related manufacturing. The city is in active growth mode, with luxury and workforce apartment developments underway in the Arrowhead Business Park and senior housing planned. Housing values in the zip code are moderate relative to national benchmarks, and rents are within reach for many families, though both have ticked upward in recent years.
Maumee Intermediate sits within a stable, suburban-feeling community with library, parks, and riverwalk amenities concentrated in the historic Uptown district. The school's enrollment is small enough that peer groups will be cohesive, and the district's shift toward project-based learning may suit families looking for active, hands-on classroom experiences. The math results suggest a parent may want to look into how the school is supporting proficiency in that subject, and gain clarity on how the PBL rollout is unfolding in the fourth and fifth grade classrooms specifically.
