Victory Academy of Toledo, Toledo OH

Original Research by School Decision on Victory Academy of Toledo

Victory Academy of Toledo is a charter school serving kindergarten through eighth grade in a residential neighborhood on Toledo's south side. The school permanently closed on October 18, 2024, early in the school year, forcing families to find new schools mid-year. This closure defines the school's current status and is critical information for anyone researching it.

The academic data available comes from the 2023-24 school year, before the closure. State test results across math, English language arts, and science show very low proficiency. In math, fourth-grade proficiency reached roughly 14 percent, and eighth-grade science was the strongest subject at roughly 28 percent, but third-grade math and sixth-grade math both showed no students at proficiency. English language arts results were similarly weak, with eighth grade at roughly 7 percent proficiency and most other grades near zero. Fourth-grade ELA was an exception at roughly 43 percent. Fifth-grade science showed no proficiency. Across tested grades and subjects, the overall proficiency index was in the bottom quartile among Lucas County charter and public schools.

The school served a small enrollment, concentrated heavily in the upper grades. Kindergarten was the largest single grade at roughly 19 students, followed by a cluster of roughly 18 seventh-graders and roughly 31 eighth-graders. The lower elementary grades, third through sixth, were quite small. A substantial share of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting economic need in the surrounding area. The student body was predominantly Black, with smaller shares of white students and students of two or more races.

The school operated as a charter school within the Victory Academy of Toledo district structure. Data on specialized services, such as special education or English learner support, was not publicly reported. No information was available on staff, attendance patterns, discipline, or course offerings beyond the standard tested subjects.

Housing values in the 43607 zip code where the school is located are considerably below state and national medians, making it an affordable area. Rents have risen but remain modest. The neighborhood sits in a working-class part of the city with access to public transit through the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority.

The school's closure mid-year is the dominant fact. Parents should contact the Toledo Public Schools or other area charter authorizers to understand what placement and support options exist for students displaced by this closure.

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.
