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.

The teachers really make the setting for the students, if you don't like the class you like the teacher. I really enjoy working with the people there and having the guidance they offer. Manchester High school is definitely a worrisome school when it comes to college readiness. They really want students to succeed and I love that.

This school has definitely been a for both students who want to go to college and those who want to go into a trade or have post-secondary plans. MHS has such a diverse community and many programs that are all a benefit to students.

This school is the biggest cesspool in town! Staff members in the office are extremely rude. Teachers have no clue what students are, nor do they know where the students are half the time. There needs to be some cleaning!
