Both of my children have attended Manchester Elementary. The entire staff at this school are dedicated to helping students succeed. My son, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, was welcomed and encouraged daily by everyone working there. The teachers, office staff, recess and lunchroom staff are all compassionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic people. The principal goes above and beyond for her students and it shows in the entire environment in the building. My children have loved their time at this school. I would highly recommend enrolling your child at Manchester.

My son is a senior this year and has done amazing here. His attitude about school has become positive. He has favorite teachers in almost all his classes. They teacher have been so supportive. He loves all the choices they offer to make them ready for a career like automotive and welding. Computer classes and so much more. He has a great counselor who has helped him with situations outside of school All around a great school. Yes there are a lot of students but they have made this school great.

John Sedgwick has done a phenomenal job of inclusion, academic and emotional support, through the transition of 5th to 6th grade students. For some, the transition from school to school can be difficult and they have taken their responsibilities as educators and caring adults to the next level for the kids. The current principal is always warm and understanding of the changing educational atmosphere and ensuring parents are well informed on why the school does things the way they do. My son was able to transition from Elementary School to Middle school without significant hiccups. The change from 1 teacher all day to block classes, periods, passing time, lockers and more student movement can be overwhelming for some. The adults and the 7th/8th graders do a great job in supporting their students and junior classmates in the transition to the new schedules. This school has been nothing but amazing so far and cannot wait for it to continue!
