Summary

Mann Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving about 340 students in the Tacoma School District, and it stands out as a school on a strong upward trend, performing significantly better than other elementary schools in its immediate neighborhood.

Academically, Mann is a clear leader among nearby schools. In the most recent data, over half of Mann students were proficient in English Language Arts and Science, with science scores being a particular strength. These scores are 13 to 39 percentage points higher than those at surrounding schools like Whitman Elementary School (less than a mile away) and Birney Elementary School. This is especially notable because Mann serves a similar student population, with about two-thirds qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's statewide ranking has improved dramatically over the last decade, now placing it in the middle of all Washington schools, while all ten comparison schools in the area rank in the bottom quarter.

The school shows notable effectiveness in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and has made efficient use of its resources to achieve these results. While there is some variation in performance across different grade levels and student groups from year to year, Mann's overall trajectory from a low-performing to a solidly average school within its challenging context makes it an interesting success story in the district.
