Summary

Madison Middle School in Mansfield, Ohio, serves 761 students in grades 5–8 — the largest middle school in its surrounding area — and ranks 506th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–26, placing it above its own Madison Local district (47th percentile, 2 stars) but behind nearly all of the suburban districts nearby.

The school runs at two speeds. Its 5th grade beats the state in math, ELA and science, and its 8th grade math has topped the state every year — 73.0% proficient versus 52.0% statewide, essentially matching wealthier Ontario Middle School (73.4%) and Ashland Middle School (74.6%) despite double their low-income enrollment. But 6th and 7th grade math and ELA have fallen below the state in all four years of available data, and 8th grade science has slipped from 73.8% to 58.4%, below the state line for the first time. Chronic absenteeism is 24.4% — about 186 students missing 10% or more of the year — above the district's 20.4% and roughly 2.7 times the rate at Ontario and Clear Fork Middle School (9.0% each).

This is not a resource-poor school: class sizes (13.5:1) are smaller than most neighbors' and per-pupil spending exceeds nearly all of them. Low-income students rank 55th percentile — above the school overall — and special education students have climbed from the 19th to the 45th percentile in two years. Algebra I shows 100% proficiency against a district rate of 65.1%, though that likely reflects a small, selective group. For contrast, Mansfield Middle School sits at the 10th percentile.
