I have to say I don't agree with the posting a parent sent in(March 2008) which said that their child has not ver little at Manalapan HS. I have a daughter who is a junior there. She is doing very well. She has good SAT scores and has excellent grades. She is also very involved in many of the sports

Every school has its issues with drugs and teachers who aren't the best. I have to say I have been happy with the education my daughter has gotten there and I look forward to her succeeding in her college years. Read less

With a new principal and a completely transformed guidance office, the students at MHS are learning in a safer an healthier environment. School officials have cut down the amount of bad influences, such as drugs and violence.

The athletic program is extremely important to many Manalapan High School faculty and students, but with that said academics need to come first. Manalapan High School is a great place for students to develop their individuality, but the faculty needs to continue to work on enforcing the importance of education. Read less

MHS will teach your children a lot! Most of the seniors get into the college of their choice, as the academics in this school are wonderful. Of course if a student is constantly late disciplinary action should be taken. When a student is late once or twice a year, NO action is taken at all. Each

Manalapan High School will teach your children very little. The curriculum is surrounded by the teachings of the holacaust. The faculty concentrates on disciplinary actions for tardiness and other infractions, and spends little time pressing for academics. If you want your child to fail in life, send

I have to agree that the school is so overcrowded that the quality of education and the amount of control the administration has over the students has totally diminished to the point that we have taken our child out of the Manalapan school in their senior year. There are little or no consequences to
... Read more the students for cutting school because so many are doing it. It takes days for the school staff to even find out about it. The guidance counselors have so many students per counselor there is no way they can keep up with each case. We waited over a week for a return phone call after we left two messages. Totally unacceptable response time especially when there is parent involvement to an issue that the school was ignoring. We felt that the school was not backing up the parents. Yet the school always states they want parent involvement. Read less

I agree with all the parents who have listed reviews. The principal of manalapan high school is not a team player. Even though to date we have received two new assistant principals (and they are great) manalapan still is in desperate need of a new principal. I would really like to know why the parents

If parents were truly allowed to be involved do you think the principal would still be there? This change is about the students not politics, not unions. The change needs to be made yesterday before its too late for more students. Maybe the superintendant should step up to the plate? As far as discipline suspensions are like a bandaid on a bleeding artery. Thats where parent involvement comes in! Read less
