Mann Middle

Summary:

Mann Middle is a public middle school located in Abilene, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 879. The school is part of the Abilene Independent School District, which is ranked 676 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mann Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Abilene ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with the school's rankings for subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students consistently in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Additionally, Mann Middle has a higher dropout rate compared to the state average, ranging from 0.3% to 0.6% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.33% to 77.25% over the past few years.

When compared to other middle schools in the Abilene ISD, such as Madison Middle and Clack Middle, Mann Middle performs similarly or slightly worse in academic metrics. However, the nearby schools in other districts, like Clyde J.H., Merkel Middle, and Eula J.H., significantly outperform Mann Middle in both academic and non-academic measures. The school's declining statewide ranking and persistent underperformance compared to both local and state averages suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to improve outcomes for all 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.
