What I like about Manual is how they make sure all the kids are on time to their classes and making sure that no one is failing their classes so they help us with our work.

My experience at Manual was pretty chill. I'm never been the trouble making type so I haven't had many complications in these years. The cirrocumulus are pretty easy and I get along with all my teachers. The lunch isn't horrible either. I enjoyed playing the sports though even if we didn't have the best record. The school was decent for me for the four years I have attended here.

I loved Manual High School because I got more than just an education in the books. I learned so many life lessons and got to know many people from all different walks of life. I would like to see improvements in academics and tutoring. The curriculum is very basic and typical for public schooling. I would also like to see improvements such as renovation, better food, more resources.
