Original Research by School Decision on Beverly Elementary School
Beverly Elementary School serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Toledo's South Detroit Avenue neighborhood, on the city's south side. The school enrolls a modestly sized population for its grade span, with roughly balanced enrollment across elementary grades and slightly smaller cohorts in the middle grades.
The school's student body is diverse. About half the students are white, and the remainder are divided among Hispanic, Black, two-or-more-races, and Native Hawaiian students. More than half the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in a community where family economic need is substantial. The school's data do not report counts or rates for students with IEPs or English learners, so parents may want to ask the school directly about those programs and supports.
On Ohio's State Tests in 2024-25, Beverly's proficiency results show a mixed picture across subjects. In English language arts, students performing at proficient or above stands near where it would for a school of this population, with strong participation. Math proficiency trails ELA by about a stride, and a parent looking at these numbers may want to understand whether the school has targeted initiatives in mathematics. Science proficiency sits between the two, and the science group tested was smaller, reflecting that science is assessed only in certain grades.
Relative to the eight other schools in Lucas County with comparable data, Beverly's overall proficiency across tested subjects falls below the county midpoint. This is a factual gap the school is aware of, and it may reflect the school's community composition and economic circumstances. The school shows full participation in state testing, meaning students are taking the assessments rather than being excluded or opted out.
The school is part of Toledo City Schools, which in April 2026 approved a major restructuring plan to address a significant budget deficit. That plan includes closing and repurposing multiple elementary schools and reshaping grade configurations at several K-8 buildings. Parents should contact the school or district directly to confirm Beverly's status under that plan and what it means for enrollment, grade spans, and facilities going forward.
Housing in the 43614 zip code where Beverly sits is modestly priced relative to national benchmarks and has seen year-on-year appreciation. Mortgage costs and rental costs are both within reach for working families, though rents have been rising at a faster pace. The area is part of Toledo's broader south and west side, which in recent years has been brought into the city's Community Reinvestment Area tax-abatement program, opening the door to more renovation and new construction activity.
Toledo itself is in an active revitalization phase, especially downtown and in formerly underutilized neighborhoods. The city's economy is anchored by manufacturing, healthcare, and education, with major employers including Owens Corning, ProMedica Health System, the University of Toledo, and the city schools themselves. Public transit via TARTA serves the Toledo area, though service is spotty in suburbs and the region remains largely car-dependent. Parks, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Glass City Riverwalk are recreational anchors drawing families.
Parents considering Beverly should visit the school, review the district's transformation plan details to understand what changes may lie ahead, and discuss the school's math supports and specialized programs directly with school leadership.
