Summary

Mann Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 340 students in Tacoma, Washington, at 1002 S 52nd St, within the Tacoma School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 66.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Mann’s 17.8:1 student-teacher ratio is the highest among the ten nearby schools considered, yet its academic results are among the strongest in the local area.

Mann ranked 581st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it at the 49th percentile statewide and second among the nearby schools, just behind Lyon Elementary School. Mann had the strongest nearby English Language Arts result, with 47.47% of students proficient, and its 41.40% math proficiency was second only to Lyon’s 42.75%. Science is the clearest strength: 63.83% of students were proficient, slightly ahead of Lyon and well above the district average of 42.31% and the state average of 50.95%. Compared with schools such as Edison Elementary School, Reed Elementary School, and Sheridan Elementary School, Mann generally posts considerably stronger results.

The school has improved substantially over time, rising from the 35th percentile in 2020–2021 to the middle of the statewide rankings in recent years. Science has climbed especially steadily, while math has remained relatively stable and close to the state average. Fourth grade stands out, particularly in math, where Mann reached 50% proficiency; fifth-grade math and consistent ELA performance are larger opportunities for improvement. Subgroup effectiveness is strongest for Hispanic students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, while special education results are weaker at the 36th percentile. Overall, Mann appears to be a strong local option with notable science and literacy strengths, though families may want to ask how the school is addressing grade-level and student-group differences.
