Summary

Mann Learning Community is an elementary school in Detroit, MI, serving 359 students in grades PK-5 within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, where the vast majority of families face significant economic challenges.

The most encouraging news is that Mann is showing real momentum. After years of very low state rankings, the school has climbed from the 3rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 11th percentile in 2025-2026—a faster rate of improvement than nearby schools like Dossin ElementaryMiddle School or Gompers ElementaryMiddle School, which have remained stagnant. A standout trend is in reading: while most schools see proficiency drop as kids get older, Mann sees it rise. In 2025-2026, only 13.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, but that jumped to 22.5% by 5th grade—a pattern that has held for several years, suggesting literacy interventions are working as students progress. The school also earns its highest marks for African American students, who now rank in the 35th percentile statewide, up dramatically from just a few years ago.

Challenges remain, particularly in math, where proficiency is erratic and dipped to just 7.27% in 4th grade recently. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from a peak of 84% to 61%, is still more than double the state average. It's worth noting that KIPP Detroit Imani Academy, located just 0.4 miles away with similar demographics, achieves far higher test scores—37% of its 3rd graders are proficient in reading versus Mann's 13.5%. Mann also spends significantly more per student ($22,607) than nearby charters like Warrendale Charter Academy ($14,735), which outperforms it in most subjects. For parents, Mann is a school on an upward path, but one where progress is still uneven across subjects and grade levels.
