Being at this school was probably the worst two years of my life. I felt like the students weren't that valued to them. I only had a couple teachers who I could trust and talk to, but the school board never helps us or makes the situation worse. One day I hope that they finally come to thier senses and actually cherish the students, but coming here wasn't fun at all.

My daughter attends Kenney and we love this school! The staff is wonderful and incredibly desicated.

During my time at Manchester High School, I found the condition of the building and overall environment extremely appalling, especially the issues hidden from public view. Many areas are disgusting and poorly maintained. Under one staircase, I personally saw human feces smeared across the wall, which is not an exaggeration. In the cafeteria and nearby areas, rotting food was left out in plain sight for months. Many sinks and water fountains were broken, cafeteria seats were damaged, and several heaters did not work at all.The school is clearly worn down, yet administration seems more focused on diversity rankings than student success. Grades are low, and serious problems are ignored. During my sophomore year, a student ran through the hallway deliberately dropping feces. Students also vape almost daily in bathrooms with little consequence.New policies show a lack of control, especially the phone policy, which very few students follow. Classrooms have damaged walls and broken ceiling tiles, and constant disruptions hurt learning. Teachers care but are underpaid, and leadership has been ineffective. Overall, student safety and cleanliness are ignored in favor of appearances.
