Summary:
Zip code 92115 in San Diego contains one public middle school, Mann Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 within the San Diego Unified school district, serving a student population with high economic need.
Mann Middle faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling well below both district and state averages; for example, only 16.54% of students are proficient in math compared to 45.3% in the district. The school also contends with a chronic absenteeism rate of 26%, which is higher than the area average and is a known factor that can impact learning. Despite these struggles, the school receives substantial resources, with per-student funding of $20,891, and its state ranking has shown a slight recent improvement.
