I think it is an overall good school, with great teachers, wide variety of classes, athletics, and clubs. The worst part of our school is the layout. Meaning that it is impossible to leave the school in a timely fashion unless you leave before the last bell rings and 5 minutes passing periods are not enough time given the distance between some classes. The best part of the school is the teachers. There are some pretty incredible adults who just want the best for their students.

Overall Manhattan High school is kept very clean and with all of the students it is ran well. I do think the amount of students can be overwhelming at times but still, I feel safe.

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...
