Summary:
Mapleton Local is a small Ohio district serving roughly 737 students across three schools — one elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — with no alternative school, and it ranks 314 of 773 districts statewide (59th percentile, 3 stars). Enrollment is concentrated at the elementary level, which holds nearly half of all students (363), while the middle school is the smallest (172) and the high school has 202.
Mapleton Elementary School posts the strongest current results of the three: 65th percentile, 3 stars, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.1%. Six of its seven reported tests beat the state, including 4th-grade math (87.3% vs 67.3%) and 3rd-grade ELA (80.4% vs 63.4%). Its weak spot is 5th-grade math at 56.1%, 3.0 points below the state and down 8.2 points from the prior year. Mapleton Middle School sits at 62nd percentile and 3 stars, down from a 4-star, 71st-percentile year. It shines in Algebra I (90.9% vs 61.6%), 8th-grade science (81.0%) and 8th-grade ELA (79.3%), but 7th-grade ELA collapsed from 83.6% to 50.0% — 12.7 points below the state and the largest negative swing in the data.
Mapleton High School is the improvement story, climbing from 36th to 54th percentile and 2 stars to 3 stars over three years, with a 98.8% graduation rate. Algebra I jumped from 45.6% to 94.4%, and American History, Biology, and English II all rose above state. Yet Geometry (38.1%) and Integrated Math I (16.0%, the lowest proficiency in the dataset) remain below state, and chronic absenteeism is 29.2% — nearly triple the elementary rate and well above the district's 16.6%. Note that free/reduced lunch is unreported for all three schools, and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
