in my personal experience this school has been absolutely amazing, yes there are some downs sides to this school such as the food not being the best sometimes but the teachers here truly care for you and if you do something deserving of praise they will praise you, they go out of their way to make sure that you can succeed in whatever it is you want to do in life, they will try their best to make sure they can help you with anything that you may or may not need, they want to get you prepared for college as best as they can with whatever resources they have. This school truly cares for you even though it may get a bad rap for the students that go or have went here the staff here are second to none.

Love it. Was able to have fun and they helped with some decisions I had to make. I was on the DRUMLINE all four years. Even when COVID happened, the staff at Manual High School were there to help with school work and social/emotional issues.
