Overall my experience at Manteno High School has been poor. The bullying that occurs at the high school is unexceptable and nothing is done about it. There is not much to say that is good about Manteno. Once a clique is formed it's almost impossible to let new people in since most of the kids from Manteno Have grown up together. I'd like to see a change is the respect students give to eachother and overall how we treat one another.

The people at Manteno are egotistical, even the teachers. They only expect the best and nothing but the best; hence, why students have to try out for every single thing. Would not recommend.
