Summary

Malabar Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Mansfield, Ohio, with 732 students. The school is part of the Mansfield City School District, which is ranked 473 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Malabar Intermediate School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malabar Intermediate School's performance is significantly worse than nearby schools in the Mansfield City district, such as Springmill STEM Elementary and Mansfield Spanish Immersion School, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall ratings from SchoolDigger. Malabar Intermediate School has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.1% to 36.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

While Malabar Intermediate School's low performance presents an opportunity for the district to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, the school's high poverty rate and potential issues with student engagement and attendance may be contributing factors to its poor academic performance. By addressing these key metrics and leveraging the strengths of nearby higher-performing schools, the district can work to improve educational outcomes for the students at Malabar Intermediate School.
