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 really liked the community, the friends I had made at Manual, are lifelong companions. I didn't really like the school food, or how unsafe the building was. We were constantly going under gun/bomb threat.

I was class of 2018. I enjoyed my time at manual the teachers helped me become a better student and they helped me understand things I was confused of. My counselor helped me fill out scholorships and apply for financial aid. I enjoyed playing softball my team was joyful even when we lost the game we were happy to be able to play the game together. Our coaches always cheered us on and helped us if we made a mistake.

Of course we have a bed reputation because we're on the south end . But manual really helps every student to achieve whatever goals they have set . We can count on the teachers because they actually care and take their jobs serious. The school counselors are AMAZING whatever you need they will do anything to help us, the principle we have is actually trying to Make a change which is grate.
