Summary

Mann Middle in Abilene, TX, serves approximately 776 students in grades 6-8 within the Abilene Independent School District (Isd), a community where 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school presents a striking contrast in math performance. On one hand, its Algebra I End-of-Course exam scores are exceptional, with 77.5% of students proficient in 2024-2025—far exceeding the district (47.19%) and state (47.01%) averages, and competitive with high-performing nearby schools like Clyde J H and Wylie West J H. On the other hand, 7th-grade math proficiency is critically low, dropping to just 3.52% in 2024-2025, the lowest among in-district peers like Madison Middle and Craig Middle. This suggests a highly effective program for a small group of advanced math students, while the majority struggle with grade-level math. Overall, the school ranks in the 26th percentile statewide, a 1-star rating, and is outperformed by Craig Middle (34th percentile), despite similar economic demographics.

Despite academic challenges, Mann Middle maintains a very low dropout rate (0.0% in 2023-2024), indicating strong student engagement and a stable school climate. The school also shows a volatile but promising history with Special Education students, who ranked in the 68th percentile in 2023-2024. However, the achievement gap is stark: White students rank in the 57th percentile statewide, while low socio-economic status students rank in the 9th percentile. Compared to suburban districts like Wylie Independent School District (Isd) and rural schools like Eula J H, Mann Middle faces a significant competitive gap, highlighting the need for school-specific improvements beyond demographic factors.
