About our school

westerntoledoprep.org school introduction

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy is a public charter school serving students in Early Education through 8th grade in Toledo, Ohio. Ohio grades every school on an annual state report card, and Western Toledo Prep earned 5 stars for Progress in 2024-25, the highest rating in that category. The school's Performance Index jumped more than 15% in a single year, one of the largest gains in the entire state.

The school is built around sports. Athletics aren't enrichment extras. They're the method. Students learn discipline, teamwork, and how to push through hard things by practicing them every day, on a court, a field, and in a classroom. The physical demands of sport carry into every subject. Students who learn to compete also learn to try again when they fail.

That same integration extends to how families experience the school day. Tutoring and social-emotional support run alongside the athletic schedule — everything in one place, so students stay engaged from the first bell to the last.

Western Toledo Preparatory Academy is a publicly funded school. There's no tuition, no fees, and no cost to families. The school also provides free breakfast and lunch every day and free transportation to and from school.

The school is located at 6145 Hill Ave, Toledo, OH 43615. For enrollment information or to schedule a visit, call (419) 697-1518.
