At the district level, Mogadore Local ranks higher (71st percentile, 4 stars) than Field Local (60th percentile, 3 stars), but the school-level picture is mixed, so families should compare individual schools rather than relying only on district labels.

O H Somers Elementary School is the most consistent standout, earning 4 stars in each of the last three years and ranking 332/1,560 (79th percentile); its math proficiency is strong across grades 3–6, including 84.8% in grade 4 math and 84.0% in grade 5 math.

At high school level, Field High School ranks 349/795 (56th percentile, 3 stars) and Mogadore High School ranks 392/795 (51st percentile, 3 stars), despite the higher district rank for Mogadore Local.

Algebra I is sharply split: Field High School 80.2% vs. state 61.6%, while Mogadore High School is 51.0%. Mogadore High School has the ZIP’s highest graduation rate (95.7%) but weak Algebra I/Geometry. Families should note that in smaller schools, test-score percentages can swing a lot from year to year; the spending figures are from 2018-19; and higher resources alone do not guarantee higher outcomes.
