Foundation Academy

Foundation Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Mansfield, Ohio. With an enrollment of 460 students, the school has a diverse racial makeup but is struggling academically, ranking in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools. Foundation Academy has significantly lower test scores than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 4.2% of 8th graders proficient in math and 37.5% proficient in 8th grade science.

The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with 30.1% of students missing a substantial amount of instructional time. This, combined with the school's low per-student spending of $6,595, may be contributing factors to its poor academic performance. Despite the diversity of its student population, Foundation Academy has a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Overall, the data suggests that Foundation Academy is an underperforming school that needs to address its academic and attendance challenges to better serve the students and community of Mansfield, Ohio. Improving test scores, reducing chronic absenteeism, and ensuring adequate funding and resources should be priorities for the school and its district.
