of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Horace Mann School is a PK–5 elementary school serving 445 students at 2001 Eleanor Ave. in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as part of Saint Paul Public Schools. It is a striking bright spot in its district: while Saint Paul Public Schools ranks 346 of 458 statewide (24th percentile, 1 star), Horace Mann ranks 44 of 869 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–26. That climb has been steady — from the 75th percentile in 2015–16 to the 95th today — and the school has held 5-star status since 2021–22.

Test results back up the ranking. In 2025–26, 70.7% of students were proficient in math, 71.6% in reading, and 56.1% in science — far above district averages (27.8%, 34.2%, 19.0%) and state averages (44.9%, 48.6%, 25.5%). Science is a particular standout, nearly triple the district's rate. Grade-level highlights include 80.0% proficiency in 4th grade math and 80.5% in 5th grade reading. One trend to watch: science proficiency has slipped from 80.7% in 2023–24 to 56.1%, though it remains well above state and local peers.

Compared with nearby schools, Horace Mann leads most of them. Jie Ming Mandarin Immersion Academy is the only nearby school ranked higher overall (13th statewide, 99th percentile) and beats Horace Mann in math and reading, but Horace Mann leads in science. Randolph Heights Elementary is close in math and reading but trails in science (41.8% vs. 56.1%), and Howe Elementary sits below Horace Mann in all three subjects. Subgroup results are strong too: male and female students both rank around the 94th percentile, special education students improved to the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, and low-income students rose to the 74th percentile with 4 stars. Horace Mann's free/reduced-lunch rate (19.55%) is the lowest among these nearby schools, and its student–teacher ratio of 17.8 is higher than most, so small classes alone do not explain the results.
