Horace Mann Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19% to 33.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and surrounding Shawnee schools. The school's academic performance is also poor, with only 15% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14% proficient in math, compared to 23% and 16% in the Shawnee district, respectively. Additionally, Horace Mann Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.3% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Compared to other Shawnee elementary schools, such as Sequoyah Elementary and Will Rogers Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary performs significantly worse, with higher chronic absenteeism and lower test scores. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, it has consistently struggled to improve its performance over the past decade, suggesting that addressing the underlying issues, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, may be crucial in improving outcomes for Horace Mann Elementary students.
