Summary

Mann Middle School in Brandon, FL, is a public school serving 977 students in grades 6-8 within the Hillsborough district, where 61.5% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The most critical issue at Mann Middle is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 49.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is 59% higher than both the district and state averages. This rate dramatically exceeds nearby schools like Burns Middle (30.6%) and Mulrennan Middle (27.3%), which are higher-performing. The school's academic proficiency is consistently low across most subjects, with only 22% of 7th graders proficient in math and 43% of 6th graders proficient in ELA, compared to state averages of 53% and 62%, respectively. This underperformance has led to a 1-star rating from Schooldigger for six consecutive years and a decade-long decline from the 43rd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026.

Interestingly, Mann Middle shows a surprising strength in Algebra 1, with 86% of test-takers proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the state average of 63%. However, this success does not extend to general math classes. The school's per-student spending ($9,283) and student-teacher ratio (23.2) are in the middle range compared to neighbors, suggesting that funding or class size are not the primary drivers of its challenges. Instead, the strong correlation between high absenteeism and low performance across area schools indicates that addressing chronic absenteeism is the most urgent priority for improvement at Mann Middle.
