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.

There is not a ton of academic choices due to being a small school, but they try their best to get student into classes that they are interested in. Teachers work hard to make sure everyone is succeeding as long as they put in the effort. Facilities are outstanding and everything is generally clean. Overall had a great experience and it truly feels like family by the time you graduate.

Once again, small town school, if you mess up everyone in town will know and be talking about it, probably for at least a month afterward. That being said there is a great sense of community, you just have to be accepted into that community which is hard if you did not grow up there.

I for one am a single mother and do not have the money to be buying...

I don’t recommend this school for children of color. Not sure if the racism has gotten better but it was not a safe place. Many black students were harassed with racial slurs. Not only did their classmates do this, the racist behavior was encouraged by their parents. School board does nothing. I con...

I have had two children go through the entire k-12 system in Manchester and I am pleased with the outcome. My children are very well rounded, successful kids .
