Wildwood Environmental Academy is a Title I public charter school that is part of the Wildwood Environmental Academy school district, located in Maumee, OH with about 356 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Wildwood Environmental Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Wildwood Environmental Academy, located in Maumee, Ohio, is a unique public charter school that distinguishes itself through a specialized curriculum centered on environmental science and sustainability.

The school aims to cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills by encouraging students to explore the natural world and understand their impact on the environment.
