Horace Mann School

Summary:

Horace Mann School is a public elementary school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 399 students in grades PK-5. This high-performing school consistently outshines the Saint Paul Public Schools district and the state of Minnesota in academic achievement, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Horace Mann School's academic prowess is evident across the board. In the 2023-2024 school year, 73.85% of its students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, far surpassing the district's 25.88% and the state's 45.47%. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked as high as 36th out of 881 elementary schools in Minnesota. Horace Mann's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of roughly 68% White, 9% African American, 9% Hispanic, and 2.5% Asian, demonstrates strong performance across different subgroups, with White and Multi-racial students ranking among the top 5% and 3% of all Minnesota elementary schools, respectively.

While Horace Mann School outperforms the Saint Paul Public Schools district, there are some nearby schools, such as Randolph Heights Elementary and Jie Ming Mandarin Immersion Academy, that also demonstrate strong academic performance. Horace Mann's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.27% to 20.55% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may serve a more affluent population compared to some of its neighbors. However, the school still performs well for its low-income students, making it a model for other schools to emulate.

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.
