GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
We moved to Manz a couple years ago from a larger elementary school also on the south side, and we could not be happier. It has a very small neighborhood school feel and is so welcoming to everyone regardless of background. My child was bullied incessantly at the previous school and here he has been accepted and treated with kindness. He said “I didn’t know what it was like to come to school and have people talk to me.” The teachers are so caring and engaging as well. We love Manz and the Putnam Heights/Mitscher Park neighborhood!!

"Wonderful neighborhood. The elementary school is in my backyard so my kids walk to school, but even better in the summers because they have the school playground. Walking distance to near by shopping. Neighbors are friendly. By far the best neighborhood that my 4 kids have lived in. We love love love Eau Claire in general. Trust me....we've had to move to different states a lot for my husbands job. I told my husband I want to stay here until all our kids are out on their own. This neighborhood gets an A+ rating from this family."
