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.

over the past 4 years ive gotten to experience the life at DuPont Manual, this school is very selctive in who gets admitted and i was so proud to say i was the environment in the school is very uplifting and everything we do has a purpose most of the classes are focused on getting students academically ready for college, we also have one of the biggest selections for which classes you want to take, now at times with the student body we have academic competitiveness can be an issue but for the most part its a great school envrionment to be in and i feel that this school has helped me tremendously in getting prepared for my college journey.
