Manitas is an excellent school! Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, I supposed everyone is entitled to their opinion, and maybe others have had different experiences compared to ours. But our daughter went to Manitas from Kindergarten through 5th grade and my son has so far gone through

The administration is excellent and involved (both previous and current administrations), the office staff is helpful and friendly, and while each teacher we've had has had their own strengths and weaknesses, nearly all have been really excellent and caring teachers. I would strongly recommend Manitas for people looking for a great school for their kids! -- Involved Manitas parent for 6 years Read less

I love Manitas. My daughter has been at Manitas since she was in pre-school. She is now in 5th grade. The teachers are dedicated and knowledgable. The technology beats other districts around hands down and the curriculum and resources are state of the art. Their emergency plans and dismissal procedures

To the reviewer who said teachers pass that time, please do not lump all teachers together!!!! I have seen my daugters 6 teachers put in endless hours coming up with strategies and lessons to best teach each child. I moved from another state specifically because I did not want my child to attend their schools... even though the schools system got good ratings. I choose Manitas for my daughter and we love it!

Warning! parents this school is horrible the classes are over crowded and there is little to no one on one time with the kids. The staff seem to be passing the time and there is no indicator that they care about the kids at all!!!

My dealings with the Principal and Assistant Principal have proven them to be very immature in their dealings and not prone to making the hard decisions. They seem more concerned with making everyone happy, than taking care of problems when they arise, which might make them more effective, but unpopular
... Read more with a handful of parents. The teachers I am familiar with, have been wonderful and the parent involvement seems typical; the same bunch of parents come to, and do, everything. Extracurricular activities seem the same as other schools, as does safety. However, proper discipline of children who have done wrong or misbehaved, is sorely lacking by the leadership of the school.

This is an outstanding school for academics, safety, sense of community, and building character skills. Many of the teachers and the assistant principal are outstanding. Teachers we have experienced have gone above and beyond to help our child to be involved, interested, and excited about learning.
