GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, a great school. Guidance counselors need to do a better job with the IGP with regard to classes to be taken based off of college interest. I recommend a college counselor to help with college applications, etc.

J.L. Mann offers great courses and an excellent magnet program for students looking to go into the fields of Math, Science, or Technology. We have multiple engineering courses and a great robotics team. We have multiple laboratories and do super fun experiments. The roof will leak in some places when in rains heavily and ceiling panels fall sometimes.

We had a great experience at JL Mann. They offer a full exposure to all academic areas especially in the Magnet program that specializes in STEM subjects. The athletic programs are top notch and most sports are very competitive in the state.

If your child is smart, motivated & well-behaved, J.L. Mann is a wonderful school. My son graduated from Mann, received a full scholarship to an excellent college & is now attending an excellent graduate school. However, if your child is a discipline problem or can't keep up with the curriculum, you...
