Summary:
ZIP code 44907 in Mansfield, Ohio contains three schools — Malabar Intermediate School (grades 3–6), Madison South Elementary School (PK–4), and Mansfield Spanish Immersion School (K–8) — with 1,366 students combined and no middle, high, or alternative schools. They split across two districts, Mansfield City and Madison Local. Because grade spans differ, the schools don't all report the same tests, so comparisons here use the nine subjects they share.
Mansfield Spanish Immersion School is the clear standout, ranking in the top decile statewide for three straight years (4 stars in 2025‑26) and beating its own district on all 13 reported tests, including 3rd grade math at 95.7% (state 62.1) and 5th grade ELA at 100% (state 70.4). Grade by grade, it outpaces Malabar Intermediate School, its district-mate, by roughly 47 points. Malabar Intermediate School is the largest school (660 students) and the lowest performer — bottom-quintile three years running, below the state on all nine tests by about 25 points on average, with 5th grade math at 21% (state 59.1). Madison South Elementary School is consistently bottom-quartile, though its 4th grade math hit 80.3% in 2024‑25, above the state, before falling to 51.4% the next year.
Resources, attendance, and results line up in the same order: per-pupil spending ($11,654, $9,747, $8,384), student-teacher ratio (10.2, 13.2, 14.7), chronic absenteeism (9.0%, 13.0%, 26.9%), and average proficiency (79.9%, 46.6%, 36.8) all rank Spanish Immersion first and Malabar last. Two caveats matter: spending figures date to 2018‑19, and small grade-level cohorts mean a single year's percentage can swing sharply. Poverty data is reported only for Madison South (79.42% free/reduced lunch); the other two are blank, not zero.
