So i am a current student at manheim central Highschool. While it has tons of classes for all kinds of students. I am a bit irritated at the higher up staff like the dean. Manheim is a school that wants a bunch of college students to come out of manheim so the school finally will have a name for itself. Most the councilors get rather offended when you advise them that college is not your plan and will tell you college is what you need. But what rather upsets me the most is just how sensitive the school is. I have been threatened with detention for simply waking the halls during a class and I know a bunch of other students who have been punished for showing up late to school 4 times. I have asked the staff why this is such an issue and they underlying dont have anything to say besides. "It's not professional" or " if you were late to work you would be in trouble" rather than excepting that not everyone wants to be a perfect A+ student. They punish those for wanna be different instead of working on there dictator like program. They always mention how school should be fun but will punish everything and every little thing and they cannot take the smallest sliver of criticism. Even the basic math classes are setup like standard college courses.

My daughter has attended both elementary school and middle school at Manheim Central. The elementary school is just a couple years old and is very nice. They have a full gym and a cafeteria that doubles as an assembly area with a full stage. This assembly area is equipped with a near theater grade A/V system. Individual classes have the latest A/V projection systems. I have been happy with all my daughters teachers there.Subject specific teaching starts in 5th grade at the middle school. These days many school districts have had to eliminate many of the extras like music, band, and art. That is not the case here. They have choir, art, and band electives. They even have a technology and robotics lab. Every child gets their own laptop. The middle school has a very nice auditorium that many high schools would love to have. My daughter at least has not had any problems with bullying, so I can't really comment on that.
