Manchester provided a great education for my sons, preparing them well for the most competitive colleges.

I graduated from Manchester High School in 2004 and for me, it was a wonderful experience. It was certainly crowded and sometimes difficult to get through the crowded halls, but the large enrollment allows the school to offer a wide variety of AP and honors level classes. I was able to participate in a variety of activities, from the swim team to drama and music, to math and science academic teams. In recent years, the high school has had students, including my friends, accepted to some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including MIT and Harvard.

Manchester High School is highly overcrowded. Internally the school has numerous violent crimes, gangs (from in and out of town), and poor attendance records. Think twice before sending a child here.

My son has ADD/OCD and has a processing learning disability. He, of course, is a Special Ed. kid. He has been prematurely mainstreamed and most teachers are either unable to handle a child with these challenges, or just don't have the time because their classes are overcrowded. My child has just started Manchester High and so far it has been a scarring experience. It started with a child who maintained honor roll status throughout most of Middle School. His teachers recommended that he be placed in college prep classes -- please remember that this is a special ed kid -- with the previously-stated challenges. I think the intentions are good, but they are so overcrowded that they can't deal with every situation properly. If your kid has no challenges, I'm sure it's a great high school.
