Summary

Horace Mann Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 385 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horace Mann Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state tests, is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.8% to 54.1% in mathematics and 33.3% to 59.1% in English language arts, compared to state averages of 51.9% to 69.1% in mathematics and 54.5% to 67.7% in English language arts. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.6% to 46.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, Ruskin Elementary School and Cleveland Elementary School, which are also part of the Dayton City School District, have similar low rankings and 1-star ratings, suggesting that there may be systemic challenges within the district that are impacting student outcomes. Additionally, the wide gaps in performance between different student subgroups at Horace Mann Elementary School, such as between African American students and their white and low-socioeconomic peers, warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes of these disparities.
