Summary

Horace Mann Elementary School is a PK–5 campus at 1215 W Clifton Blvd in Lakewood, Ohio, serving about 269 students as one of seven elementary schools in the Lakewood City district. In 2025-26 it ranks 751st of 1,560 Ohio elementaries — 52nd percentile, 3 stars — the school's lowest position in the ten-year record except 2015-16, and a step down from the 57th–63rd percentile band it held for most of the past decade.

On 2025-26 tests, Horace Mann looks like an average Ohio school and a below-average Lakewood one. Averaged across grades 3–5, math is 60.1 (below Ohio's 62.8) and ELA is 70.8 (above Ohio's 65.2), for a 65.6 overall — but the Lakewood City district averages 76.6, so the school trails its own district by roughly 11 points overall and nearly 16 in math. Grade-4 math is the acute weak spot at 56.8, 23.7 points behind the district and 10.5 below the state, while grade-4 ELA is the bright spot at 78.4, ahead of the district and 16.6 points above the state.

Poverty does not explain the gap: Roosevelt Elementary School serves a higher-poverty population (47.6% free/reduced lunch vs. 36.4%) yet posts higher math and ELA averages, and Harrison Elementary School, at 66.7%, still beats Horace Mann in math. Top Lakewood schools Grant Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School run at the 90th–92nd percentile — roughly a 40-point spread inside one district. Attendance is a relative strength: 13.3% chronic absenteeism, about 8.5 points better than the district every year on record. Special-education results are the most durable concern — 773rd of 914 (15th percentile, 1 star) in 2025-26, declining three years running — and low-SES results fell from the 74th to the 41st percentile. Nearby non-Lakewood options such as Riverside School (27th percentile) and Orchard Park Academy (17th) sit in a lower tier.
