Original Research by School Decision on Mcgregor Elementary School
Mcgregor Elementary School is a public school in Toledo serving kindergarten through seventh grade. It is part of Washington Local, a district currently undertaking major structural change: three older elementary buildings were closed after the 2021-22 school year and are being replaced with new construction, a process expected to unfold over a decade. Additionally, the district is reorganizing its secondary grades around a new middle school opening in fall 2026 that will serve grades 6-8, pulling sixth grade out of the elementaries. Families choosing Mcgregor now will experience these transitions during their children's school years.
The school's recent state test data shows math and English language arts proficiency roughly in line with or slightly above the midpoint among the county's districts. In math, a little more than half of students tested scored at proficiency level or above, as did about half in ELA. Science proficiency was stronger, with three-quarters of students reaching proficiency. The school participates fully in state testing with near-complete participation rates across subjects.
Enrollment is small to mid-sized for the grade span, with fairly even distribution across kindergarten through sixth grade. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic composition of the attendance area. The student body is predominantly white, with meaningful representation of Hispanic and multiracial students, and a smaller share of Black students. Data on English learner enrollment and special education enrollment was not available.
Mcgregor sits in west Toledo, in the 43623 zip code. The broader Toledo area is in active revitalization, with downtown and the Warehouse District drawing investment in residential conversions, dining, and entertainment; the University of Toledo and ProMedica Health System anchor employment nearby. Housing values in the zip code are somewhat below the state median, and the affordability metrics suggest more accessible entry points for homebuyers than the state or national average. The area is car-dependent outside the core districts, though public transit through TARTA connects to jobs and services across seven communities.
Washington Local's multi-year rebuild creates a context of change. Parents should understand that while Mcgregor itself is an established school, the district's elementary footprint is being modernized and its secondary structure is shifting. The new middle school structure will affect where and how older elementary students transition. A parent may want to clarify directly with the school how Mcgregor's current sixth and seventh grade students will move into the new configuration, and to ask about any interim adjustments while the district's overall plan unfolds.
