Research Horrace Mann Elementary School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“We are very excited with the reading program at this elementary school. Teachers are aware of the importance of supporting children to develop fluency and written skilld during the first years of elementary school. A lot of work and volunteer support is given to those children that are not up-to-the-benchmark. Volunteer work is the backbone of the program. Hopefully, parents become sensible to the fact that our society is moving at a faster pace; and parents' engagement in children's education is critical.”

“Awesome school! I've had four children in Mann Elementary and I couldn't be more satisfied.”

“I have been an involved parent at Horace Mann for 7 years, 3 of my children have attended. I have been very satisfied with 9 out of 10 teachers I have worked with. Horace Mann has a very dedicated Staff. The great math (Math-a-Minute) and reading program that have been in place for 6 years are available solely because of parent volunteers. (Kids actually graduate from the math program in a fun ceremony called 'Knights of the Multiplication Table' where the Principal, doning a crown and cape, knights each of the kids after they answer a multiplication question. It's a big deal for the kids and parents alike!) The involvement of the parents at this school is impressive! It is often mentioned by our principal and new staff members. Extracurricular activities are offered for students and parenting lectures are subsidised by a very active and involved PTSA.”

“This is a great school. Very special attention is paid to the little details.”
