Summary

Mansfield Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Mansfield, Ohio, which is part of the Mansfield City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mansfield Middle School faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.2% to 37.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Galion Middle School (21.6%), Ashland Middle School (15.8%), and Ontario Middle School (12.3%). The school's test scores are consistently below state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 24.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to 29% for the Mansfield City district and 63% statewide.

While Mansfield Middle School spends $8,217 per student, which is comparable to the spending levels of the higher-performing nearby schools, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools for its diverse student population, including African American, White, and Gifted and Talented students. Addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and low test scores should be a top priority for the district.
