Foundation Academy

Located at 1050 Wyandotte Avenue in Mansfield, Ohio, Foundation Academy is an open, independent charter school district serving the educational needs of its local small-city community. Operating out of a single centralized facility within the Mansfield metropolitan area, the district provides a structured academic continuum spanning kindergarten through eighth grade. As a standalone local educational agency for federal programs, Foundation Academy offers a tailored public charter option focused on building strong foundational skills and preparing young learners for high school transitions.

For the 2024–2025 school year, the academy educates a diverse student body of 382 children across its elementary and middle school grades. The vibrant student population includes 183 White, 118 Black, 65 multiracial, 12 Hispanic, and 4 Asian students, comprising 203 male and 179 female learners. The district supports its student body with a robust workforce totaling 94 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, which includes 48 classroom teachers, 7 instructional aides, and 39 support personnel. This generous staffing context enables a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of under eight to one, ensuring small class environments and individualized instruction.
