Elm School

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.

While I have no problem with the preschool/kindergarten program, I have to say I would no longer be comfortable having my children in the daycare program. New management has, in my opinion, taken the focus off the kids and put a major emphasis on looking good and keeping up appearances. Management knowledge of state procedures has gone downhill and I sincerely believe things will go from bad to worse if the situation remains the same.

An absolute disaster of an administration. Plenty of people left due to a lack of transparency from the school and reversing their promises. The school is definitely losing its Christ center focus. Demand transparency and better administration for this school. Plenty of people have lost money for a lackluster education with nothing to back it up. They're too focused on a mask mandate, not their financial pit that they dug themselves.
