Summary

Cynthia Mann Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boise, Idaho, serving 392 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Boise Independent District, which is ranked 33 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Cynthia Mann Elementary consistently outperforms the Boise Independent District and the state of Idaho in standardized test scores, with 60.1% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math compared to 46.9% for the district and 43.1% for the state. The school also has relatively strong performance for both male and female students, ranking 43 out of 69 Idaho elementary schools for female students and 25 out of 69 for male students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated between 15.0% and 23.7%, an area that could use improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Cynthia Mann Elementary generally outperforms schools like Lowell Elementary and Morley Nelson Elementary. But the top-performing school in the area is Collister Elementary, which consistently ranks among the best in the state and outperforms Cynthia Mann in most metrics. Cynthia Mann's higher spending per student ($11,125 in 2018-2019) and relatively low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its success, but there is still room for improvement to reach the level of the top-performing schools in the region.
