Mann Magnet Middle School

Summary:

Mann Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Little Rock, Arkansas, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 618 students. Despite its magnet school status, the school consistently underperforms the Little Rock School District and the state of Arkansas in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels.

In 2023-2024, only 14.9% of Mann Magnet Middle School students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.1% in the district and 33.8% statewide. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 83.5% in 2022-2023 and 100% in the previous two years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12 to 13.2 students per teacher, it spends more per student ($12,295 in 2018-2019) than some nearby schools.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Pulaski Heights Middle School, which is just 3.64 miles away, Mann Magnet Middle School is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Additionally, despite its magnet school status, it does not appear to be providing the same level of academic performance as other magnet schools in the region, such as Dunbar Magnet Middle School and LISA Academy North Middle School. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting that it may need to re-evaluate its strategies and approaches to improve academic outcomes for its students.

Open Quote Horace Mann once again is not it. The teachers are just wild, they don't know what their talking about and it shows. Parents who say that this is a good school is LYINGGGGG. This is a battleground, don't bring your kids here. Close Quote

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.
