Summary:
Schools in The The Richland School of Academic Arts area consist of just one campus: The Richland School of Academic Arts, a K–8 school in Mansfield, Ohio with 338 students. Its district, The Richland School of Academic Arts, ranks 603rd of 773 Ohio districts — the 22nd percentile — and holds 1 star. Because only one school appears in this data, there are no other local schools to compare against, so the most useful benchmark is how this school's Ohio State Tests results stack up against state averages.
Math is the clearest weakness. No math grade reached the state average in either year, and in 2025–26 every math grade was at least 20 points below state — the largest gap being 4th grade math at 35.0% proficient versus 67.3% statewide (−32.3 points), followed by 5th grade math at 28.2% vs. 59.1% (−30.9). Math also declined in every listed grade from 2024–25 to 2025–26. English language arts is far more uneven: 8th grade ELA (66.7% vs. 58.3%, +8.4 points) and 7th grade ELA (65.7% vs. 62.7%, +3.0) finished above state, while 3rd grade ELA (31.9% vs. 63.4%, −31.5) and 5th grade ELA (48.7% vs. 70.4%, −21.7) fell far below, a sharp reversal from 5th grade's above-state showing the prior year. Science is weakest in 5th grade (33.3% vs. 62.7%, −29.4) and much closer in 8th grade (−8.8 points).
Overall, the school's simple average across listed tests was roughly 41.7% in 2025–26 versus 60.1% statewide, widening from about a 10-point gap the year before. Rank and ratings slipped too: 2 stars and the 34th percentile in 2024–25 became 1 star and the 21st percentile in 2025–26, with rank moving from 1,030 of 1,558 to 1,236 of 1,560. Chronic absenteeism was 31.2% — roughly 1 in 3 students. The student-teacher ratio was 18.7 in 2024–25, but per-student spending data comes from 2018–19 ($6,658), and free/reduced lunch figures are blank in this extract and should not be read as 0%.
