Summary

Mansfield Middle School is a grades 7–8 school serving 387 students in Mansfield, OH, part of the Mansfield City district. Its statewide results place it well below its neighbors: in 2025–2026 the school ranked 941st of 1,046 Ohio schools (10th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranked 520th of 773 districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars). Every nearby middle school ranked higher — Ontario Middle School, Shelby Middle School, Ashland Middle School, Lexington Junior High School, and Clear Fork Middle School all placed between the 68th and 81st percentiles.

Test scores are the biggest concern. In 2025–2026, 8th-grade math proficiency was 9.8%, 8th-grade science 12.9%, and 7th-grade math 13.3%, compared with nearby schools ranging from 42.9% to 75.9% in 8th-grade math and 58.4% to 80.0% in 8th-grade science. ELA results were higher but still below state and nearby averages at 33.7% in 7th grade and 23.6% in 8th grade. Algebra I is a genuine bright spot at 89.5% proficiency, above the district's 38.3% and the state's 61.6%, but it is an end-of-course test typically taken by a subset of students, so it does not offset the broader math picture. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 43.7% in 2021–2022 to 29.1% in 2025–2026, though that remains the highest among nearby schools and above the district's 25.6%.

Subgroup effectiveness is low across nearly every group measured: male, female, African American, White, multi-racial, special education, low-SES, and gifted and talented students all ranked at or near the bottom decile statewide, so the school's challenges appear systemic rather than isolated. On the positive side, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 10.9, improved from 12.5 in 2022–2023, and its per-student spending of $8,217 is mid-range for the area. Nearby examples suggest resources alone do not explain the gap: Madison Middle School ranks at the 52nd percentile despite 24.4% chronic absenteeism, and Crestview Middle School ranks at the 54th percentile with 7.7% absenteeism.
