Best High Schools in Zip Code 44906

ZIP code 44906 contains four high schools — Mansfield Senior High School, Buckeye Community School, Ontario High School, and Cypress High School — enrolling 2,153 students combined, from 231 at Cypress to 816 at Mansfield Senior. Mansfield Senior, part of Mansfield City, serves grades 8–12; the others serve grades 9–12. Ontario Local is the only one here with a district rank, while Buckeye Community School and Cypress High School are standalone districts without one. Test-score coverage is uneven, and blank values mean not reported, not zero.

Ontario High School is the clear standout: a 4-star school in all three rank-history years, ranking 128 of 795 schools (84th percentile) and 149 of 773 districts (81st percentile). Its graduation rate is 98.7%, chronic absenteeism is just 9.3%, and it beats the state in every reported EOC subject in both years — 79.9% average in 2025–2026 versus a state average of about 63.2%, including American History 92.6%, English II 87.8%, and Algebra I 80.0%. Mansfield Senior is the largest school and posts a solid 93.7% graduation rate, but ranks 646 of 795 (19th percentile, 1 star), with 29.8% chronic absenteeism and a 47.7% test average — about 15.5 points below the state. Math is weak there: Geometry 16.8% and Algebra I 31.1%. Mansfield also has the lowest student/teacher ratio (11.3) and the highest reported spending ($10,522 per student in 2018–19), yet outcomes lag Ontario's.

Buckeye Community and Cypress face the biggest challenges. Buckeye ranks 821 of 855 (4th percentile, 0 stars), has the lowest graduation rate at 46.3%, 54.1% chronic absenteeism, a 17.4% test average, and a striking student/teacher ratio of 51.4. Cypress, the smallest school, has the highest chronic absenteeism at 94.3% but an 83.7% graduation rate, with a 27.8% test average and very low math results. Notably, graduation and absenteeism don't move together, suggesting different school missions. Math is the area's broadest weakness, and data gaps — free/reduced lunch only for Ontario, spending only for Mansfield and Ontario — limit full comparison.
