Honestly, I think this school has done well for my daughter. My daughter has gone from 6th grade and is presently in her 8th grade year at Manor. I think I may be lucky because my daughter does relatively well on her own, but she has stated that the teacher are all enjoyable and are good at teaching.
... Read more From her perspective, it's a decent school. There are a lot of bullies there and kids with behavioral problems but that is at every school, not just Manor. And those kids deserve a chance too, and they need guidance from teachers and parents. The only problems I've had with Manor are: some of their classes do not have enough books for students. My daughter has learned well and done well. I am not sure how it is for students who struggle to pass though, and how much help they get. Read less

I was a student at Manor, I was there for all my 3 years of middle school, and I have to say with our last principle we did get away with alot of things than with the current principle. In my opinion most of the teachers are so focused on trying to get our TAKS score up that they forget to make sure
... Read more we actually understand the material. They teach us and then send us home with homework that makes our parents have to reteach the whole subject. Manor's new principle is strict and partly because Manor students don't understand when enough is enough and it's not all the students, but my pint is if you constanly take away our privilages then you should expect rebellion.

The teachers and principles at this school are involved as long as the parent is concerned. The biggest downfall is that to much of the teachers time is spent on discipline and rule enforcement not instruction. TAKS seems to be the primary goal with little time spent on anything else.

I am currently a student at Manor. Manor isn't that bad and the only reason a kid might be in ISS often or failing a class is because they aren't trying. I take all Pre-AP classes and I have only one B and the rest are A's. The teachers are okay but some don't seemed qualified. The electives are ok.

I am a military retiree who's children attend Manor M.S. I have just read a lot of complaining without any basis in reality. I just spent three weeks at Manor as a student teacher. Many times I saw teachers contacting parents for discipline issues with their children, concern over a change in grades

The administration is very active in adressing all of these problems while trying to get students to reach high standards academically. My daughter has spent three years at Manor. I am satisfied with her education. I believe the staff does a good job concerning the lack of respect and self control of a small yet vocal portion of the students. What the school lacks is legitimate parent involvement. Read less

I think Manor Middle School is at its worst. This is my first year there, and so far, I have been in ISS half the whole year! I think MMS should focus more on their students education instead of their students attire. Everyday I come home telling my mother another teacher got onto me about what I wore.
... Read more My parents don't have enough money to pay for more clothes just to impress the teachers, and unquestionably I have to sit in ISS because of theses strict rules. Honestly, I think this school has done lost there mind. And I know I am not the only one who thinks so. Read less

Manor Middle School does not show any effort to try and encourage children to work. Seems to me the teachers are only there for a paycheck not to help the child pass.When a parent sees their child in danger and asks for extra assignments or worksheet to get sent home so the parent can cover it as well

Honestly i have little to say about manor middle school because of the poor leadership and behavoir instructment. The teachers dont really seem to care if you pass nor fail. Many teachers at MMS have a high failure rate because they are not giving the students a chance to show them that they can do the
... Read more work. Personally, I rather not recommend any child, teacher, or volunteer to have come and be apart of such a undisciplined and well unestablished place they call Manor Middle School. Manor can't possibly mean success when the teachers aren't getting the students to aim for it. They dont deal with important issues that need to be acknowledged because they are to busy putting students in ISS due to dresscode. They should be more aware of how their students are performing in the classroom more than if they have on the right colored socks. Read less

Quality of academic programs has become a great concern of mine this year. My daughter has attended MMS since the 6th grade and yesterday was her last day of 8th grade. We struggled at this school from the begining. There are teachers there who need to retire. Yesterday my daughter experienced a heart

The students at MMS who has failed one class are not allowed to go to the gym and cheer on thier fellow classmates or have the pleasure of saying thier good byes.

How sad of a memory to have about the last day of your middle school exprience.I think this act was unkind and heart breaking to those tearful, sad students. Read less
