This school is just ok. I am a sophomore here and my experience hasn't been great. The student environment is very toxic. there have been more fights than I can count and there is a lot of bullying. Last year, days after a student committed suicide, the early college program had BMX bikers come to the school to talk about bullying. SPOILER ALERT: they didn't talk about bullying. It was only bike tricks. it seemed very insensitive considering the situation. Also, I don't know if the principal herself is aware of this, but she tends to be very buddy-buddy with the bullies at the school. I wrote an incident report about a bully last month and got no update. I've heard nothing about it and feels like I got brushed off. The reason I reported the bullying in the first place was that I was having suicidal thoughts because of the bullying. The well-being of the students shouldn't be an afterthought. Yet here we are. Speaking of well-being, we have had no drills related to shootings or lockdowns. I thought there would be something like that, especially since there was a school shooting in texas not too long ago. To sum it up, attending this school makes me scared for my mental health and safety.

I am not a parent. I am a grandparent of two students enrolled in Manor ISD. One is at New Tech and the other is at Manor Senior High. As a retired teacher, I feel it is easy to bash a school for all the things they do wrong. The hard thing is to help in the areas needed. Volunteer or encourage your child to apply themselves above and beyond what is required. My grandchildren are not angels by no means, but supporting them and encouraging them to me is more effective than allowing them to blame the teachers because they didn't get it. Go to get help after school etc. If asked any teacher will help a student they feel just wants to learn. The only way to get change is to work together to make it. Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and any other concerned adult, let's work to make Manor ISD the best it's ever been!

I'm a member of the early collage program and have absolutely loved being at the school but the moment you step outside of the program space everything goes down hill so please join early collage or don't go to school here if your goal is a proper education.

Unless you are successful in the Early College program (That administration is amazing and supportive), don't send your student to this school. The teachers are caring, but they have zero reinforcements with the administration. This high school has the potential to be great and put out productive citizens with the programs they have. Sadly, they are not being utilized because the administration has zero control over this school. The kids have zero consequences if they have minor behavioral issues. They only thing they do is suspend you or send you to the alternative school. A teacher has actually told me they are told not to write referrals unless it's a fight or actual drug issue. I just withdrew my student after repeated bullying issues.

This was the worst school I've ever been to. I am a freshman at Georgetown University and I feel so incredibly underprepared on even the most basic topics. It's embarrassing that this school is allowed to have such terrible quality of education.

My daughter recently started going here and she hates it.There are major problems with this school that are not being addressed.The website is nonsense, and it looks like it was created to try to make the school look ideal.I recently visited the school for a parent teacher meeting and the staff were horribly rude. One of the problems is concerning diversity.There is not a big selection of kids from different races and ethnicity, and as a result my daughter gets teased for being in the minority group.I would transfer her to another school but we're too far into the year.She is definitely going to another school next year.

This school is horrible.I got transferred here since my family moved and I hate it so much.The entire school is nothing but snobby white kids and it's not diverse in the slightest.Not to mention the teachers are rude and don't care about their student's well being.Please don't put your kid in this school.The over all environment is bad, and if I could go back to my old High School I would.

As a parent, I am very displeased with this school.My student who attends this school is harassed and frequently referred to with racial slurs.There is not a diverse group of children attending, and he tells me that they always give him a bad time because he is Asian-American.On top of that, the staff does nothing about it.The academic program and over all test scores of this school are disappointingly low.Even the website is full of generic ideas that are obviously exaggerated.I would not recommend this school to any parent or student.

When I first moved into this area, me and my mom looked at reviews on schools and came across MHS. There were a lot of reviews that were bad, so my mother was pretty skeptical about it, but I insisted after reading all the things they had to offer. As a student I think is school is pretty great. I love the elective classes they have to offer, it's challenging but not to fast paced, and I feel like all the information I learn, I can remember because most of the teachers are great. I will admit, this school as it's faults. I'm amazed at how much students cuss and get away with it, maybe, the school needs to be a little more, on top of that. Other than that, I love this school. I love the classes, and the teachers. I love how its so easy to get involved and I'm happy that in this school I can feel comfortable.

It is obvious when an administrator or district staff submits a review to boost the ratings. No doubt there has been a transformation - anything is better than four years ago. An interesting challenge would be to ask all students to submit a review, as well as all parents. Each unit (where there is both parent and student) that submits a review gets some sort of recognition for participating.

We love MHS. There are so many opportunities for students here. The fine arts programs have improved a lot in the last few years. The schedule is also nice in that it gives students a lot of choices throughout the year. The staff are very friendly and there is a real sense of community on the campus.

Over the past three years I watched Manor High School improve in many areas. As a parent I have had the pleasaure of watching this growth. I have two children who have graduted from Manor and a ninth grader: if i wouldnt have seen the change for myself i wouldn't believe all the things the staff and adminstrators have change to make this school a more parent friendly and safe enviroment. I work at the school each week with the teachers, faculty,staff and student. The Prinicpal has gone above and beyond to reach out to the parents of Manor . I look forward to the next 3 years here at Manor High

The school has done a fantastic transformation in the last several years! There is a camaraderie among teachers, administrators, parents, and students that hasn't been there in awhile. There is a new commitment to excellence as can be seen in the performances of the fine arts dept, athletics, and FFA portions of the school. Perfect attendance has been achieved by half of the student population and is at an all time high. More and more students have joined the "Accepted Club" by applying to colleges and being selected to attend. Some of these include Harvard and Yale as well as UT, Texas State, and Texas A&M. There is a strong belief that constantly believes in student achievement with the desire for all students to be successful.

This is a great school to be at. The students are very respectful to teachers and to each other. The staff at Manor High School are some of the best I have worked with. There is a strong emphasis on collaboration between the entire staff. The culture has changed so much over the past few years. There is a strong focus on academics and creating a college going culture. The fine arts program is on the move and the athletic programs have made great progress. We have seen a PTO program come together this year which is bringing in more parents to help out at the campus. Manor High School is a great place to be.

Manor High School is doing great things! They are a positive school. You can feel it when you walk in the door. They use PBIS - Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support- focusing on the positive yet consistent consequences for less desirable behaviors. They offer tutoring for any student, any day of the week. They are a diverse school and promote an environment of tolerance that prepares our students for the real world. They have a down-to-earth administration that is approachable and wants to know how you feel. I love our school! It is a great place for students, staff and families.
