Manchester Memorial High School

I always Judged this school by what others had told me. Now my boys attend and I really like it. Goes to show me never Judge what you don't know.

We transferred in in October of 2024 from a lackluster experience at another school. Mrs Welch and the Principal Mr Beaulac immediately calmed our concerns and fears. I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Welch in the Kindergarten class, I will be surprised if we ever have a teacher as good and passionate as her again. She has helped develop our child leaps and bounds over the last school year, and we're so thankful we made the switch. The entire school is warm, inviting, understanding, and truly wants every child to succeed even if they need some accommodations to do so. I cannot recommend this school highly enough!

So far, and my child is only in Kindergarten so I can't say anything about the rest of school, there have been things that have been pleasantly surprising, and other things I've been pretty disappointed about. Best parts: diverse student body, caring teachers, very involved principal. Worst parts: kids seem to watch a LOT of TV in all their specials classes, resources seem scarce, the pickup/dropoff thing is so scattered and seems really disorganized.

Unless your child is 100% ready to cooperate with no tears, this isn’t the school for them. Staff isn’t willing to put into the work to help your child acclimate to a new setting/experience. Do NOT recommend.

Teachers are sexist and do not know how to treat kids when a boy does something they get in trouble but when a girl does something they get in no trouble at all Do not recommend this school at all
