Summary

Horace Mann Elementary is a K–5 school in Huntington, Indiana, serving 438 students in the Huntington County Com School Corp, a district that ranks 160th of 374 Indiana districts (3 stars). The school itself ranks 551st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools for 2025–2026 — 46th percentile, 2 stars — yet it has climbed steadily from the 29th–32nd percentile range in 2018–19 through 2022–23, to 37th percentile in 2024–25, and 46th percentile this year.

Within its own district, Horace Mann sits in the lower half: only Lincoln Elementary School ranks below it, while Roanoke Elementary School, Flint Springs Elementary, and Andrews Elementary School all land above the 60th percentile. English Language Arts is the clearest weakness, at 31.44% proficiency — below the district's 35.37% and below every same-district peer except Lincoln. Math is more uneven: 40.21% overall, but 4th-grade math is strong at 54.29% while 5th-grade math is only 24.53%, far below district and state. Science is a genuine bright spot at 54.29%, above the district's 42.45% and above every same-district school except Roanoke, and 5th-grade social studies jumped to 52.83% from 21.88% a year earlier. Among nearby out-of-district schools, Horace Mann outperforms O J Neighbours Elementary School in math and science, but trails Southwood Elementary School and Sharp Creek Elementary School, both of which spend less per student.

Context matters here. About 64.61% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — second only to Lincoln in the district — and chronic absenteeism is 14.1%, better than the state's 16.7% and the district's 14.8%, but higher than Roanoke, Salamonie Elementary School, Andrews, and Flint Springs. Horace Mann spends $11,080 per student with a 13:1 student–teacher ratio — more funding and smaller classes than several higher-performing peers — which suggests spending and class size alone don't explain results. The clearest priorities are early-grade ELA (3rd-grade ELA is 22.54%), 5th-grade math, and further reducing absenteeism.
