So far, I have seen a great dedication to keeping the children involved and excited. I would like to see my daughter challenged more, but I have confidence that her teacher is ready to help me do that!

Manning Elementary school is an O.K. school. I graduated from there a few years ago and I had pretty good teachers but their were some exceptions. The main problem is the condition of the building. I know the heating system stopped working a week or two ago and that the school was hit by a tornado about two years ago but not much could be done to fix any damage. Their were a lot of leaks and mold when I was there with buckets in every classroom to catch falling water. All the walkways are outdoors and there is no gymnasium. The walkways are covered but the coverings are very damaged. The entire school is basically in structural disrepair. Their is a pretty good program for the academically gifted and there is a track that Physical Education is held on when the weather is nice enough. Their is no spelling bee or science fair. There are no foreign language classes but their are art, music, p.e., and library classes that all students attend. The student body is mixed with people coming from a wide variety of home situations. It serves half the town, Belmont Elementary school serves the other half. They are probably the best elementary schools in the area.

This school is average, at best. My daughter attended Kindergarten there last year and I was not impressed. The school has received minimal updates over the twenty some years since I attended. Her teacher was good and had been recommended to us by friends. The school was seriously lacking in after-school programs which really disappointed me. Unfortunately, this is still the absolute best public elementary school in the area.

My two children attended Manning Elementary School and my sister is a teacher there. It has always been a wonderful school. They have teachers, like my sister, who really care about their students.
