My experience at Manual has been a mix of emotions. Some days it is not where I want to be and some days I can be completely dedicated. I like the academic support that they provide, the community wise im not a fan of. The school just includes the favorites of the school and everyone else is left out as much as they try. Culture is not really represented.

This is a great school because it has and opens so many doors for you and everyone is on your side to see you push through those 4 years and the support team is crazy and everyone just wants to see everyone around them win and you can get that vibe when you step foot on ground. It's a great way to interact and meet new people and sports is great as a high school basketball player I left there with a State Championship, which is what all high school athletes want and want to leave with.

I love everything about Manual High School. Manual High School has come a long way from what it was our freshman year. I loved it then and I still love it now. The teachers care, the sports are fantastic, and the school spirit is amazing.

I like the way this school goes above and beyond the call of duty. The teachers are very caring. The only concern I have is the culture shock, attitude, and disrespect my children experience around a lot of the students.
