Everyone at this school really care about the education and the welfare of all students. The teachers are approachable and work hard to ensure that the students are provided with additional help if needed. I have no hesitation in recommending this school.

This school is absolutely amazing! The principal and every teacher cares deeply for every student on campus. The academics are challenging but supported so that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Learning is presented in diverse ways to approach multiple modalities. I highly recommend this school.

Staff here is uncommunicative and slow to recognize or provide support for student needs. Administrative staff and principal “don’t know anything” and could care less about what is happening with students and asking questions or advocating for your kid is frowned upon. I would never trust this school with my kids again.

Don’t and I means don’t send your kids to this school this is sadly my kids home school but I’m changing immediately. One they don’t care about you kids disabilities Or feelings , example I told my sons kindergarten teachers he’s autistic she’s had the nerve to tell me really because I don’t see that he is . Like really just blew it off like last time I checked your not a doctor and instead . Also absolutely doesn’t help your kids my son who’s dyslexic had trouble with math and when he asked for help her response was you need to figure it out yourself . If you care about your kids education and your kids in general stay away from this place

This school is amazing. From the staff to the principal to the programs to the front office. It can't be beat.

This is an amazing school. The teachers are caring, the staff is outstanding but one highlight is the principal. She is approachable, positive, caring and always available. I can't say enough about this place. You have to enroll early because there is always a waiting list.

Manzanita has a very caring staff and principal. It is an outstanding school in this area and I would say the dual immersion program is the best in the San Gabriel Valley

Terrible I would not recommend my worst enemy to go here THE TEACHERS SIMPLY DO NOT CARE OR WORRY about the students. Compared to the great school my son goes to now. I have anxiety just thinking about putting my child back into this school parents be warned and if your home school is this one please move because your child will have a terrible experience at this school.

Incredible! I commute over 7 miles daily both ways to have my kids attend this school. I specifically wanted the dual language enriched program. Everything else has positively been a great experience.

Manzanita welcomes every learner! Manzanita has great state testing scores! Our school gives students the opportunity to learn three languages well. English, Spanish and Coding.

I love this school! I am new and have been welcomed. I can't believe how hard the staff works. I think it is amazing to find the principal directing traffic and ensuring she is seen by parents almost everyday. She speaks spanish and has a great sense of humor. She really wants to get to know everyone and makes students feel comfortable and safe. I am so glad we found this place.

Manzanita is a great school with great teachers and staff. I have two children that will be attending. This year they will begin computer coding for all students, and my youngest will attend their Spanish dual program. Go Mustangs!!
