Mann is a great neighborhood school in the historic district of Iowa City! Diverse racially and socio-economically with great new principle and strong committment to the school community. Zero tolerance of bullying and counselor and teachers teach kids skills they need to be positive role models, stand up for themselves and others, and be kind and compassionate members of the community. School offers gifted and talented program, support for learning disabilities, after school foreign language classes (Spanish and Chinese), GirlsOnTheRun group, orchestra (5th & 6th grade), fantastic and engaged after school program. This is a true neighborhood school! Your neighbors are your classmates, tight knit neighborhood community is deeply involved in school events and activities. 100 years old in 2018, school will be newly renovated by 2019. Our girls have thrived at Mann K-6th grade, and benefited from learning in a diverse and supportive community of learners. We love this school and test scores don’t provide the whole story of what it is like to be a student here. It’s a gem and we feel lucky we’ve had the opportunity to be a part of this amazing neighborhood school!

This school has no words for me to say, all i can just say is that this school is amazing, i love city high, and i love the teachers,they could try and get the students to fight under control.but this school brings me joy and happiness when i wake up in the morning,i love the teachers and anyone there.there are some bumps,like how some students act with one another,but either than that this school can be a warm welcoming home,every morning that i woke up to get ready to go here felt like i was just going home.i always woke up with a smile knowing i will see one of my favorite teachers there and the people and friends who are really close to me.honestly i recommend this school because you can learn at your own pace,teachers help with whatever you are struggling with and help you to understand the work better,they take the time they have every day of the week to make sure that you are getting your work done and you get the help that is necessary for you.I love you city high! keep growing and i miss you!!!! LITTLE HAWKS <3 MY LIFE AND MY HOME!!! LITTLE HAWKS RULE I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU ALLLLLL

The musical education is wonderful. The teachers are dedicated and work hard and the performances are always a joy to attend, especially the choral performances showcasing the training that the kids are getting. Show choir is especially fun and I've seen so much growth in my daughter's dancing and coordination as well as in her vocal ability. Overall her experience has been great and I strongly recommend Southeast Jr. High as a great school.
