Summary

Horace Mann Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 672 students in the Glendale Unified School District, ranking in the top 15% of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its exceptional academic results, significantly outperforming both district and state averages, with over 73% of students proficient in English and nearly 66% in Math. What makes Horace Mann particularly remarkable is its success with all students; it achieves top-tier outcomes while serving a population where a majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for serving economically disadvantaged students. This performance is much stronger than at nearby schools like John Marshall Elementary or Cerritos Elementary, which have similar student demographics but lower proficiency rates.

Beyond test scores, the school shows lower chronic absenteeism than many neighbors and has maintained stable excellence for nearly a decade. While the school excels in most areas, there is noted room for growth in supporting students with disabilities. For families in the area, Horace Mann offers a proven model of academic excellence and effective support within the high-performing Glendale Unified district.
