Summary

Mann Magnet Middle School in Little Rock, AR, serves 557 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Little Rock School District, a district ranked in the bottom third of Arkansas.

Mann Magnet stands out for its exceptional Algebra program, which is a bright spot in an otherwise challenging academic landscape. In the 2025-2026 school year, 48.8% of students were proficient in Algebra, more than double the district average of 20.8% and well above the state average of 36.9%. This success is consistent over three years and even surpasses nearby Dunbar Magnet Middle School, which scored 40% in Algebra. However, overall proficiency in core subjects like English Language Arts (22.3%) and Math (17%) remains low. The school serves a student population where 99.46% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, a rate of economic disadvantage shared by only a few peers, such as Dunbar (99.05%) and North Little Rock Middle School (100%). Despite high per-student spending of $16,625—more than higher-performing charters like Estem Junior High Public Charter School ($12,641)—the school has not seen proportional gains in most subjects.

Encouragingly, Mann Magnet shows a clear upward trend in academic performance over the last three years. Proficiency in English Language Arts has risen from 14.9% to 22.3%, Math from 9.5% to 17%, and Science from 17.1% to 25.7%. This consistent improvement suggests that recent interventions are taking effect. The school also outperforms its district peer Dunbar in every subject, indicating that its specific programs are more effective. While charter schools like Lisa Academy North Middle School achieve higher overall scores (e.g., 48.7% in ELA), Mann Magnet’s targeted Algebra success and positive trajectory offer hope for continued growth.

Horace Mann once again is not it. The teachers are just wild, they don't know what their talking about and it shows. Parents who say that this is a good school is LYINGGGGG. This is a battleground, don't bring your kids here. Close Quote
