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.

I liked how much control I had with the Thespian club when I was there and how much I got to learn and do for the shows I was apart of. I also really like all my art teachers because they helped me grow in my heart and made me continue to love it till now.

I love Manhattan High! There are so many opportunities during and after high school. They prepare you for college with their vast selection of classes.

The counselors actually engage with you and make sure you are on the right track to graduate and to continue whatever you want after high-school. A lot of caring teachers that you get to be with the full four years of high-school. The students are nice, most friend groups lap over each other. Overall just good vibes all around. I've made a lot of connections over these last for years and the school has helped me grow a lot.

Pulled our child out of this district, it’s not about teaching them but rather pouring politics into the students all the time.

MHS is located 4 blocks from a University., and uses many KSU resources. The children of KSU Faculty attend this high school. For that reason it is one of the most multicultural places in the state, and can be one of the most academically challenging. It has many Advanced Placement Classes, allowing...
