Summary:
Families in the Field Local school district, which serves about 1,916 students across four schools in the Kent and Mogadore area, have a solidly mid-pack district that ranks 307 of 773 in Ohio (60th percentile, 3 of 5 stars). The portfolio is unusually even: Brimfield Elementary School (K–5, 529 students) and Suffield Elementary School (K–5, 421), Field Middle School (6–8, 442), and Field High School (9–12, 524) — no school is more than 26% larger than another. Across the district, 23 of 28 tested subject-grades scored above the state average in 2025-26.
Suffield Elementary School is the academic standout, beating the state in 6 of 7 tested subjects — including 4th grade math at 80.9%, 5th grade math at 79.7%, and 5th grade science at 79.7% — while spending the least per student ($7,679) and posting the district's best attendance (8.5% chronic absenteeism versus 16.4% districtwide). Field Middle School is the most volatile: its 8th graders hit 100% proficiency on Algebra I two years running, yet 8th grade math fell from 81.1% to 50.0% in one year. Brimfield Elementary School is the largest school with the largest low-income share (42.53% free/reduced lunch); its 4th grade math (60.2%) and ELA (56.8%) fall below both district and state, though its ranking has improved over three years.
Field High School is strong in American History (81.4%) and Algebra I (80.2%), but Geometry (37.3%) trails the state, and its 24.2% chronic absenteeism is by far the district's worst — roughly one in four students. Attendance worsens steadily with grade level. Finally, 2024-25 was a high-water mark: three of four schools slipped in 2025-26 after their best rank percentiles, suggesting an unusually strong cohort rather than sustained growth.
