Mann Learning Community

Summary:

Mann Learning Community is an elementary school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 335 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mann Learning Community faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance, and equity concerns. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.5% to 83.9%, are much higher than the state and district averages, as well as nearby schools like Dossin ElementaryMiddle School (56.8%) and Henderson Academy (82.1%). Academically, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step English Language Arts and Math assessments are well below the state and district averages, and lag behind nearby charter schools like Warrendale Charter Academy and Detroit Premier Academy.

Additionally, Mann Learning Community's student group rankings show that the school performs particularly poorly for female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools in these categories. While the school's per-student spending has increased from $16,765 in 2019-2020 to $22,550 in 2022-2023, this higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
