Summary:
Zip code 02048 is Mansfield, MA, home to four public schools serving about 3,176 students across grades K–12: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, all part of the Mansfield district, which is ranked 93 of 351 districts statewide (74th percentile, 4 stars).
Mansfield High is the largest school with 1,002 students and holds 4 stars, with a 97.1% graduation rate and a 1.6% dropout rate. Its 10th-grade math proficiency is 60.7 versus the state's 43.73, and it exceeds the state in ELA, science, and biology as well, though its rank has slipped from 81st to 72nd percentile since 2023–24. Harold L Qualters Middle is also 4 stars and posts the strongest current rank percentile (76th, 116 of 478), with math at 56.15 versus the state's 41.11 and 8th-grade civics at 51 versus 39.77. However, its all-grade ELA fell from 60.44 to 47.1 year over year. Jordan/Jackson Elementary (grades 3–5) is the only 3-star school, but its rank has been stable near 69th percentile for three years, and 3rd-grade math stands out at 65.15 versus the state's 42.19. Everett W Robinson serves grades K–2, so it has no MCAS scores in this data set.
Overall, every tested school beats the state in every reported subject, with math the clearest strength — gaps of roughly +15 to +17 points at all three tested schools. The single exception appears at the grade level, where Qualters 6th-grade ELA is 39.92 versus the state's 40.26. Science is consistently above state but less dominant than math, and several year-over-year drops in ELA and science bear watching. Note that free/reduced-lunch data are blank for all schools, spending figures are from 2020–21, and resource differences such as Qualters' lower student/teacher ratio (9.6) and higher spending ($19,302) versus Jordan/Jackson's 12.9 ratio and $17,513 are suggestive, not causal.
