Summary:

Schools in the Foundation Academy district consist of one school, Foundation Academy, a K–8 school in Mansfield, Ohio, serving 382 students. Although listed as an elementary school, it serves kindergarten through eighth grade. The school ranks in the bottom fifth of Ohio schools and districts: its district rank is 672 of 773 (13th percentile, 1 star), and its 2025–26 school rank is 1,248 of 1,560 (20th percentile, 1 star). Rank history shows 2024–25 was its strongest recent year at the 23rd percentile, while 2023–24 was 16th percentile and 2025–26 is 20th percentile.

In 2025–26, every provided Ohio State Test result was below the state average, and the same was true in 2024–25. The school’s unweighted all-test average fell from 39.3% to 34.7%, while the state average rose slightly from 59.2% to 60.1%, widening the gap from about 19.9 to 25.4 percentage points. Math is the weakest subject, especially in middle grades: in 2025–26, math grades 6–8 averaged 18.3% versus the state’s 52.3%, with 6th grade math at 17.1% and 8th grade math at 13.6%. Third grade math is the closest to state, only 5.3 points below in 2025–26. Some areas improved year over year: 5th grade math rose 14.4 points, 5th grade science rose 13.6 points, 4th grade math rose 6.5 points, and 5th grade ELA rose 5.9 points. However, 8th grade science dropped 30.4 points, 6th grade math dropped 20.0 points, and 8th grade math dropped 17.2 points.

Chronic absenteeism was 24.5% in 2025–26, meaning roughly 94 of 382 students were chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio was 15.9 in 2024–25, implying about 24 teachers. Per-student spending was $6,595 in 2018–19, but that figure is too old to compare directly with current outcomes. Free/reduced lunch was not reported, limiting context. Overall, Foundation Academy is a low-performing, bottom-quintile K–8 school with broad below-state test performance; its relative bright spots are 3rd grade math and recent 5th grade math/science improvement, while middle-school math, 8th grade science/ELA, and absenteeism are major concerns.
