Summary

Mann Middle School is a mid-sized public middle school in Colorado Springs School District No. 11, serving roughly 300 students in grades 6 through 8 in central Colorado Springs, and is currently one of the lowest-performing middle schools in the state. About 73% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, well above the district average. On 2025-26 state assessments, just 16.1% of students were proficient in ELA, 12.1% in math, and 11.8% in 8th-grade science, compared with state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 35.4%. The school's state ranking has slipped from the 19th percentile in 2021-22 to the 7th percentile in 2025-26, placing it 438th out of 469 middle schools.

Chronic absenteeism is the most urgent non-academic barrier. In 2024-25, 58.4% of Mann students were chronically absent — more than double the statewide rate of 28.4% and well above the district's 45.8%. Poverty alone does not explain the results: North Middle School, with a similar 62.7% poverty rate, achieves ELA proficiency of 49.7% and math of 33.8%, while West Middle School, with an even higher 80.7% poverty rate, reaches 21.0% ELA and 16.0% math. Jack Swigert Middle School is the closest comparison, with similar poverty and test-score levels, while Russell, Holmes, and Sabin middle schools all score substantially higher.

Mann has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8) than nearby schools like Holmes (19.9) or North (16.5), yet that advantage has not produced stronger results. Its dropout rate of 1.2% is below the state average, and its low-income students perform at the 30th percentile statewide relative to their peers — better than the school's overall 7th-percentile rank suggests. One notable pattern is a 7th-grade dip: only 7.2% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-26, versus 13.0% in 6th grade and 15.9% in 8th grade. For parents, the most promising areas for improvement are clear — reducing chronic absenteeism and adding targeted support for 7th graders — and the success of similar nearby schools shows better outcomes are achievable.
