J E Manch Elementary School

Bullying at school even on bus and to bus driver, do not recommend school for multiple reasons.

Unresponsive administrators that don’t follow set regulations

This school had a bunch of potential going down to the buildings and schedules but when it comes to what staff they hire they fail this year I had a teacher that didn’t even teach us science and was mainly calling the office instead of teaching us Last year in 4th I had a teacher that took kids stuff but when she really drew the line is when she took my USED lipgloss and gave it to another kid to haveI have no complaints to my 3rd grade teacher he was amazing But as a student that’s been here since 3rd grade the only fun and nice year I’ve had was 3rd

were a difficult family to work with, but they have taken the above and beyond approach with us. I thank them for their hard work and dedication to teaching our children.

This school’s low ranking is not surprising given the leadership. The principal’s attitude is extremely concerning and comes across as disconnected from the well-being of the students. It often feels like the focus is more on collecting a paycheck than genuinely supporting and protecting the children.There have been multiple incidents where inappropriate behavior has been overlooked or dismissed, particularly when it involves students of the same ethnic background as the principal. Even more troubling are the repeated concerns raised about racism within the school, which seem to be ignored or handled inconsistently. It creates an environment where accountability feels selective rather than fair and unbiased.When it comes to academics, there also appears to be a lack of genuine investment in student success. Overall, the leadership sets a tone that does not prioritize safety, equity, or quality education, and it shows.
