Summary

Horace Mann Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bayonne, New Jersey, with 678 students. While the school has some strengths, such as its 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts performance, it faces several challenges, including lower academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Horace Mann Community School's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally below the Bayonne School District and New Jersey state averages across most grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively well for African American students but struggling with English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.9% to 26.0% in recent years, which is above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Walter F. Robinson Community School, Washington Community School #9, and Lincoln Community School #5, Horace Mann Community School's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools tend to have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, Horace Mann Community School's performance is still better than some of the lower-performing schools in the Jersey City district, such as Alexander D. Sullivan School.
