Summary:
The Mansfield R-IV school district in Missouri is home to a single outstanding middle school, Mansfield Junior High, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 136 students. This school has consistently ranked among the top 20 middle schools in Missouri, maintaining a 5-star rating from School Digger and significantly outperforming state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels.
Despite having a relatively high percentage of students (60.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, Mansfield Junior High's students have achieved exceptional academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, 78% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school's success may be attributed to factors such as higher-than-average spending per student ($10,626) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1.
While the school's overall performance is excellent, with a slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6% compared to the state average, there may be room for improvement in addressing attendance issues. Nevertheless, Mansfield Junior High stands out as an exemplary middle school, providing a high-quality education to its students and serving as a model for other schools in the state.
