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.

I transferred to Manchester in February of this year. I have had a hard time with making friends, however I do run track and field so I made a few school friends there. The school overall is very different then what I am use to there are a lot of fights and kids vaping which I do not participate in. I would love to see the school have a better atmosphere as far as feeling safe. I do like my teachers and they have all been very understanding of me being the new girl. I really enjoyed working with my coaches in track & field. I am very into learning and having good grades and I feel like a lot of the students don't have the same drive as me. I think the worse part is the fighting and vaping. The best parts would be how encouraging my literacy teacher is.

Manchester township High school has been a pretty great school in my opinion. Every school has ups and downs I would say the lunch situation is down. But our academics are very wide rang and we have a lot of opportunities. Sports wise we might not always win but we always try and we are very inclusive. I liked my time here overall!

It's a good school but there is nothing special about it. There are some great teachers but there are a few teachers who don't show passion in teaching. The students are average. A lot of nice good kids but there are a lot of fights and issues that go on within the hall ways and bathrooms. The sports are great and a lot of the coaches show dedication. It seems like after quarantine, students don't want to get involved as much as they used to.

I was a year long substitute teacher in 2022-2023, taking over 4 computer science classes and one PreCalculus Class. The students in these classes were very respectful. Every student rose and recited the pledge of allegiance aloud. Students worked daily with their chromebooks as well as whatever han...
