Summary:
Mansfield, Massachusetts is served by four public schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — that together form a single K–12 feeder pattern enrolling 3,176 students, all within the Mansfield district, which ranks 93rd of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 74th percentile with 4 stars. Students move from Everett W Robinson (grades K–2, 664 students) to Jordan/Jackson Elementary (3–5, 760) to Harold L Qualters Middle (6–8, 750) and then to Mansfield High (9–12, 1,002). Robinson, a K–2 school, has no MCAS scores or rank history, so its academics cannot be judged from this data; free/reduced lunch figures are unavailable for all four schools.
Mansfield High is the largest school and posts strong 10th-grade results — 55.56% proficient in ELA, 60.7% in math, and 45.18% in science — all above state averages, with math nearly 17 points higher. It also reports a 97.1% graduation rate and 1.6% dropout rate, and ranks 100th of 353 high schools (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Qualters Middle holds the best current rank among the four schools — 116th of 478, 76th percentile, 4 stars — plus the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.6) and highest per-student spending ($19,302). Jordan/Jackson earns 3 stars (69th percentile) but delivers the single best proficiency result in the data: 3rd-grade math at 65.15%, nearly 23 points above state.
Math is the district's clear strength at every level. The main concern is middle-school ELA: Qualters' all-grade ELA fell from 60.44% to 47.1% and now sits slightly below the district, and 6th-grade ELA is just under the state. Elementary scores also decline by grade — Jordan/Jackson's ELA drops from 57.26% in 3rd grade to 42.64% in 5th, and math from 65.15% to 51.32%. Because each school is ranked against schools of the same type, star ratings and percentiles are not directly comparable across levels.
