Horace Mann School for the Deaf Hard of Hearing

Summary:

Horace Mann School for the Deaf Hard of Hearing is a small public school in Allston, Massachusetts that serves 70 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with 48.57% Hispanic, 30% African American, 14.29% White, and 5.71% Asian students.

Despite the school's specialized focus on serving deaf and hard of hearing students, Horace Mann struggles academically compared to the state and Boston district averages. In 2022-2023, only 3.57% of Horace Mann students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.29% statewide and 29.34% in Boston. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was 7.14% at Horace Mann, compared to 40.6% statewide and 25.64% in Boston. The school's performance is also lower than nearby alternative schools, such as Henderson K-12 Inclusion School Upper and Melvin H. King South End Academy, which have higher proficiency rates.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 2 students per teacher and high per-student spending of $123,300 in 2020-2021, Horace Mann School for the Deaf Hard of Hearing faces unique challenges in effectively educating its specialized student population. The school's specialized focus and resources suggest a commitment to supporting its deaf and hard of hearing students, but the academic outcomes indicate a need for further examination of the school's educational approaches and strategies.

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.
