This is my son's 2nd year at Roy H. Mann. Unfortunately Covid-19 knocked out almost a year of in-person learning, one-on-one with teachers, social activities, etc.. My son coming from a grammar school with high academic skills, it was tough for us to actually accept and settle down based on so many negative prior reviews. However, we did, and I advised my son to stay focus and told him that he can be anything he wants to be wherever he goes. He is focused, but it's kind of funny how parents gravitate towards the so-called 'better schools and neighborhoods' not thinking that they can help to make a difference wherever they go.I have been on all the PTA Meetings and serve as a SLT member at other meetings of this school and I must say that there is poor representation of the parents at the PTA meetings, so my question is, why do people complain or find so many faults if they are not stepping up to try to make a difference? I find the Principal, the Vices, Deans, Teachers, Paras, the entire Bd. of Educators at this school to be approachable, friendly, helpful and they get back to you with any concerns or questions unlike the 'Prep' school my son came from.Listen people, you and I, we make the difference, so if you need to see improvements at this school, let it start with us and our kids - plain and simple! Be proactive in the school! Ask Questions! Meet out to teachers if you have concerns or call the office! Do something instead of saying something - that's negative!

Everything about this school is below average by far. 95% of the teachers give either work thats too easy to the point we don't learn, or teach very poorly. The other 5% of teachers are decent but the work is still not up to par with other schools in course rigor. You may get good scores in class until you take an AP test where your grades don't matter. This school had potential but has completely ruined itself. Some of the teachers promote skipping classes (particularly gym teachers), which really isn't what you need.Some of the rooms have mold growing in the floors and (from my experience) has been there for at least 3 years. I thought this school would have been good but I was so wrong.The only part of the school that is decent is the vast number of clubs (which 80% of them fall on Thursday).If you live over 40 minutes away don't go to school as it starts at 7:15 once youre junior/senior.

My daughter is in Kindergarten at the school and the level of work she's doing just boggles the mind. The school really challenges the kids and keep them competitive. My oldest graduated 2 years ago and was very well prepared for Junior High. The school teaches the subjects and also life skills from study skills to keeping organized... I LOVE IT!
