This is the worst run school in DPS. I was encouraged to send my kids to this school through the positive things I had heard of this school through a Facebook mom group. But having my kids here has been the worst decision. It is clear that the school is so poorly managed. There is high turnover at this school with often times classrooms not having a full time teacher throughout the entire year. Classes relying fully on various substitute teachers coming in and out. On top of all of this. The Principal did not announce that the school would have an additional 5 teachers leaving for next year until AFTER choice round 1 closed. Jenks is the worst principal and clearly does not care about staff, students or families. We have applied for choice round 2 and now because of their incompetency and disregard for families, my kids will be at 2 different schools for the following year. AVOID COLUMBINE AT ALL COSTS.

I am grateful to have Manual as my daughter's graduating school. The staff is utmost dedicated and caring and often bent over backwards to help my daughter become a better student. Many of the students come from low-income, disadvantaged homes, including our own, and Manual did everything it could to help my daughter succeed. We felt part of a community. She is now attending college.

is the best school for my son, I am very happy with the teachers, with all the staff for the good treatment towards my son and me, it is an excellent school.

Our experience was a 9 out of 10. The teachers truly cared and went out of their way to be invested in student success academically, socially and emotionally.
