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, st
Posted by a parent on 8/3/2018Horace Mann is an excellent school. The small size of the school allows the staff to really get to know the kids. A strong PTO and many excellent teachers make Horace Mann a strong elementary school. Our two daughters flourished there. The mix of opportunities (more than you can take advantage of) b
Posted by a parent on 7/10/2016Our daughters attended Horace Mann when we moved from Massachusetts. I was skeptical when I saw the low standardized scores that Horace Mann received but it was a great school in a wonderful family neighborhood. There was a high number of children of foreign grad students and English was their secon

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMr. Pisarik is the most amazingly magnificent principle. The way he shows empathy to each student and how he embraces each student is amazing. He has the ability to make each student feels unique and special. His warm smile and everyday greeting and salutes to the kids. Mr.P makes Shimek my kids’ second home. My kids grow, thrive and academically, they were amongst the best students. Also, Mr. More who taught my kid in 6th grade, Mrs. Montrose second grade teacher, the best, she has a warm heart as big as Victoria lake. She is so sweet, so genuine and very understanding. Mrs. Schneider, third grade teacher, she made my kid a beast on math, science and reading. My kids stayed 4 years in Shimek. One of the best 4 years of our life. Always grateful!Parent Review4y ago - Central Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids loved this school! All of the teachers we had were absolutely amazing! The low scores that the school gets is mostly because of the high turnover of the students (such is the area, with a lot of apartments), but if your student stays through the entire school year, they will progress! This school has so many programs to help kids learn, and my kids greatly benefited from them!Parent Review6y ago - Helen Lemme Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur children have flourished at Lincoln. Teachers seem happy which is a good sign. Many neighborhood parents are professionals but we have not found it to be a pressure-cooker. Changing the high school zoning to City High may have chilled everyone out a bit.Parent Review8mo ago - Longfellow Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school says one thing but does another. I was told that I could pick up my child earlier than the 14:55 out time because he was having a rough time leaving school. Then, I was told after a couple of weeks after that that my child's attendance was an issue. This school is BIG on bullying parents and they want so badly to yank your children from your homes.Parent Review5mo ago - Mark Twain Elementary School
