Horace Mann Elementary School

Summary:

Horace Mann Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 364 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which is ranked 702 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horace Mann Elementary faces several key challenges. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 36.3% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of around 15-20%. Additionally, Horace Mann has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 16.5 over the past few years, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

Interestingly, Horace Mann's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Kettering City School District schools, such as Beavertown Elementary, Greenmont Elementary, and Orchard Park Elementary, which consistently outperform Horace Mann and the state averages. Addressing the school's challenges, particularly the high chronic absenteeism rate, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for Horace Mann's students.

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.
