Description:
In 1996, based on a system of multiple measures for school accountability, the Glendale Unified School district placed Horace Mann Elementary on an academic improvement program. The school began a reform effort grounded in data-driven decision making and has now exceeded its API growth target for the last three years, showing steady and continuous improvement in student achievement. Key to the reform effort at Horace Mann is an intense focus on data, standards and accountability, allocation of resources and professional development. more »

Academic Performance Index (API)

1999 Overall Score: 568
2000 Overall Score: 607 (rose by 39, exceeding growth target of 12 set by the state)
2001 Overall Score: 622 (rose by 15, exceeding growth target of 10 set by the state)
2000 API Growth for Hispanic Students: 42
2000 API Growth for White Students: 41
