Summary

Horace Mann Elementary is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 387 students in Redmond, Washington, operating within the highly-regarded Lake Washington School District.

The school is a consistent academic leader, currently ranked 12th out of over 1,100 elementary schools in Washington. Students here significantly outperform both district and state averages, with nearly 90% proficient in English and Math. This excellence is stable year after year, unlike some neighboring schools like Norman Rockwell Elementary or Redmond Elementary which see more ranking volatility. Horace Mann excels for all students, with both its female and male student subgroups ranking in the top 20 statewide.

An interesting finding is the "Twin Peaks" phenomenon in Redmond: Horace Mann and the nearby Sunrise Elementary (in the Northshore School District) are both among the very best in the state, suggesting the area is a hotspot for exceptional public education. While the school's per-student spending is high, performance comparisons with schools like Explorer Community School show that factors beyond funding, such as teaching quality or school culture, are key drivers of its outstanding and reliable results.
