About Mann Middle School (4090)
A MESSAGE FROM:
Mann Middle School
2025-2026
Mann Middle School, located at 1001 East Van Buren Street in Colorado Springs, serves students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Central Area in Colorado Springs School District 11. Since opening its doors in 1957, the school has been a cornerstone of the community, with an anticipated enrollment of around 250 students for the 2025?2026 school year. Mann takes pride in its diverse student body, approximately 52% of whom are from minority backgrounds, and provides specialized programs tailored…
to students requiring significant academic and social-emotional support. As of 2024, roughly three-quarters of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. In the 2024 school year, Mann Middle School advanced from a Priority Improvement Status to Improvement Status on the Colorado Department of Education's School Performance Framework. The school is also a designated Title I institution, enabling it to access federal funding for academic interventions and staffing. This support has helped provide a full-time Instructional Coach. To enhance instructional quality, a coaching team made up of school administrators and the instructional coach guides teachers through structured, twice-weekly collaborative planning and data analysis. A Leadership Team has also been formed to lead the school?s academic direction, while updated behavior systems are reinforcing a school environment conducive to learning. Academically, Mann offers a comprehensive curriculum featuring core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Students also have access to a rich variety of electives such as music (traditional and modern band, and vocal), drama, theater, visual arts, physical education, and family and consumer sciences. The school has reinstituted its Gifted and Talented program to provide academic challenges and enrichment for students with exceptional abilities. Identified through a thorough screening process, these students work closely with a designated educator for guidance and support. Additionally, a specialized intervention teacher supports reading, writing, and math through targeted tutoring. To foster community and engagement, Mann has a House System that creates smaller student groups for relationship-building and friendly competition. Emphasis is placed on nurturing middle schoolers into empowered citizens, critical thinkers, empathetic collaborators, and students who are academically and emotionally prepared for future challenges. As part of a renewed vision, Mann Middle School has launched a new initiative to implement personalized and individualized learning pathways for each student. Spearheaded by a dedicated leadership team, this initiative is focused on designing tailored educational experiences that address students? academic goals, interests, and developmental needs. Every student will be paired with a mentor coach, an adult advocate who provides regular guidance, monitors progress, and supports goal-setting. Each student?s learning journey will be structured around a personalized pathway that includes clear academic and developmental benchmarks, as well as a student portfolio to showcase progress, reflection, and mastery over time. In addition to career readiness, this model also incorporates social-emotional cognitive learning, with dedicated sessions led by school counselors to help students build self-awareness, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. The pathway vision emphasizes student agency and readiness for the next level of learning, with the long-term goal of preparing every learner for success in school, career, and life. In charting the school?s path forward, Mann developed a comprehensive Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) through a collaborative process involving district personnel, school staff, and families. The planning process kicked off during the Colorado Springs District 11 Leadership Symposium and involved extensive data analysis in partnership with Impact Team Educational Consulting Services. Participants included educators across disciplines, instructional coaches, data analysts, and school leaders. Throughout the year, families were invited to participate in weekly engagement meetings to offer input and feedback as a part of ongoing opportunities to develop the School Accountability Committee. This ongoing collaboration ensures the UIP is responsive, data-informed, and aligned with the school?s goal of continuous growth and improvement.
