Summary

Mann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 276 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools and its academic performance is well below the state and district averages.

Mann Elementary School's proficiency rates on standardized tests are particularly low, with only 37.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 15.2% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the district averages in these subjects. Additionally, Mann Elementary School has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby Coles Elementary Language Academy, Daisy Bates Academy of Social Justice, and CICS - Avalon/South Shore generally perform better than Mann Elementary School on academic measures, the school's low performance may not be solely due to the socioeconomic status of its students, as these nearby schools serve similar demographics. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and providing adequate resources and support for the school's students may be crucial for improving academic outcomes at Mann Elementary School.
