Understanding the 8/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Mayfield City School District 8 out of 10 — above average among Ohio public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Ohio’s State Tests grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Ohio is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Mayfield City School District earns an above-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates stronger than most other districts in Ohio. Above-average districts generally show solid and consistent academic results across their schools. Families considering this area will find a district with meaningful academic strengths.
