Mansfield Middle School

Summary:

Mansfield Middle School is a public middle school serving 427 students in grades 7-8 in Mansfield, Ohio, which is part of the Mansfield City School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance on state tests, and subgroup performance that ranks in the bottom 20-30% of Ohio middle schools.

Mansfield Middle School's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are around 15-37% in Math and English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 49-62%. This underperformance is particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as White students, African American students, and students with disabilities. In contrast, nearby schools like Ashland Middle School and Lexington Junior High School have higher proficiency rates and rank in the top 30-35% of Ohio middle schools.

Despite Mansfield Middle School's diverse student population and comparable spending per student, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Ohio middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This underscores the need for the school to identify and address the specific factors contributing to its underperformance, in order to provide a high-quality education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
