Summary

Mapleton Middle School in Ashland, OH, is a public middle school in the Mapleton Local district serving grades 6–8 with 172 students, making it one of the smaller middle schools in its comparison area.

For 2025–2026, Mapleton Middle School ranks 397th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools—62nd percentile with 3 stars. The Mapleton Local district ranks 314th of 773 districts—59th percentile with 3 stars. The school’s recent trajectory is generally upward but uneven: its percentile rose from 38 to 47 to 59 to 64 to 71, including a 4-star year in 2024–2025, before slipping to 62nd percentile and 3 stars. Locally, it is upper-middle: it trails Cloverleaf Middle School (86th), Northwestern Middle School (81st), Ashland Middle School (75th), and Black River Education Center Middle School (67th), but is above Lucas Heritage Middle School (56th), Crestview Middle School (54th), South Central Junior High School (53rd), Madison Middle School (52nd), New London Middle School (45th), and Mccormick Middle School (32nd).

Academically, the brightest spots are 8th grade science (81.0 vs. Ohio 61.2), 8th grade ELA (79.3 vs. 58.3), and Algebra I (90.9 vs. 61.6). The clearest red flag is 7th grade ELA at 50.0, which is 12.7 points below the state and the lowest among nearby schools; because 7th grade math is close to state norms (50.0 vs. 48.6), this looks more like an ELA-specific cohort issue. Low-income students are a standout: the school ranked in the 79th percentile in 2025–2026, 90th in 2024–2025, and 78th in 2023–2024, all with 4 stars. Male students dropped to the 50th percentile (2 stars) after two 71st-percentile (4-star) years, and older data for disabled and gifted/talented students show lower relative rankings. Chronic absenteeism improved from 28.4% to 16.1% and is slightly below the district’s 16.6%, but several nearby schools have lower rates. The student-teacher ratio of 19.1 is the highest nearby, yet the school still posts above-state results in most subjects.
