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.

Manvel High School is a unique place. For some reason, we care a lot about the football team even though they are t good. The swim and water polo teams are not taken care of by the higher-up people. there are some nice teachers there but then the others can be mean. I would recommend are school to someone who likes band but not to someone who likes swim.

In my experience, Manvel High School has its pros and cons. The choices of classes are great. The teachers of higher education classes are amazing in my experience. The teachers of base-level classes are not the best. They are laid back but most do not try to connect with the students. Teachers need to take control of their class and not give up on helping the struggling students.

I transferred to this school for my senior year snd it has been completely different than my old school. I love the range of classes you can take not to mention art programs and technology programs. My teachers are super friendly and nice even though they have to deal with so many kids a day. The staff are friendly and really helpful when you need anything. I love the library it has a huge range of books for students in any grade. The work is also rigorous but helpful and I think I might miss this school when i graduate.

Ever since the leadership change in 2019-2020, this school has become extremely toxic. New leaders are hostile to staff, creating a horrible working environment.Do not apply to work here or send your kid here, as you will see a huge turnover rate at the end of the year. Teachers are getting fed up w...

Academics seem to be undervalued to sports. I have heard from fellow students about a drug trade going on. Every passing period you will see at least 3-5 couples kissing and exhibiting publicly inappropriate behavior. Many of the students live far away from the school and have to commute 20-30 from...
