Manchester Elementary

Posted: February 18, 2026

You can never contact the principal there was an a counselor. The social worker was playing both parts. You can never get help for you or your student. They’re learning is far behind where they should be. My kid is in kindergarten and she doesn’t even know how to read her right yet or anything to get into first grade they told me at one point that they would put My child on the waiting list for help from the social worker/counselor, but that the list was so long. They probably wouldn’t be able to even get her help. Also, the teacher throws away the students work books/schoolwork that should be sent home after each lesson and or the end of the year. Most of the staff is very friendly and attentive, but having forbid you try to get a hold of anybody in charge to have a conference about students behavior and or learning and they will ignore you. I have begged all year for help and have been ignored all year till now when I found out that the school finally got a counselor. They never have bus drivers. My kid instead of learning more and doing better went into school at top of her class and now at the end of the year is at the bottom of her class the school is a joke.

I do not recommend this school, especially for families with children who have special needs. In my experience, the staff was not professional and did not show the level of care or attention these students require. There appears to be little understanding of how to support children with special needs, which is very concerning. Schools should prioritize compassion and proper training, and this one falls, some teachers should have a heart, compatibility, compation and be more care for students treat your students the right way, with special needs or not some of this kids go to a emty home.
Special Needs kids some of them can't comunicate, don't ignored their needs.
Be A PROFESSIONAL.

I finally had to pull my kids from this school and decided to homeschool for now. Staff isn't the friendliest. The school doesn't do much compared to other schools. My child in kindergarten would come home and speak of the "bad" kids in class. I wish we would have done better research on the school before moving to this area. Teachers are a hit and miss which is sad.

Absolutely less than desirable. I wanted my daughter to go to W.T. Brown but the misfortune is that I live where Manchester is assigned. I really wanted to like the school, I tried really hard. I've cooperated and copperated more, agreed with some things even against my better judgement and I've come to a full and harsh realization. My child is not the problem. Its the administration, the staff, the over-filled class rooms. Theres lack of attention, not enough teachers for a 21 child class! Its caused my little girl to seeming act absolutely crazy when she is there. Now she is being treated differently by staff and making things worse. The AP now has a grudge on my 6 year old. The class is over-filled. I am at wits end with the so called "administration" and staff.
My child was suspended from the bus for an act of self defense against a constant protagonist of bullying. I am overwhelmed by my disappointment in how these things are managed. I am also overwhelmed that my little one is now being singled out, and being pushed into a "disability" probably because the school gets more funding. YES. They are those kinds of people. YES, its that kind of school. Do yourself and your children a favor and find a better school. They're wolves in sheep's clothing.

My kindergarten age child is in a class of 21 children to 1 single teacher. This is problematic for my child because she is falling behind in a way that if she were able to have slightly more one on one learning she would better understand the work that sits before her.

My child has been suspended from her bus twice this year in bullying related cases of self defence. Manchester Elementary is ineffective at dealing with these problems.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Ray is not at Manchester. Anyone who is a good teacher or administrative staff, will not stay at Manchester. If you are a military family, do not send your children to Manchester. The teachers are not caring or qualified to teach in such a low income school. It has been a nightmare at this school. There is so much bad behavior among the students, teachers cannot teach. The teachers are so unprofessional and fake with the exception of Ms. D. Johnson.

Manchester Elementary is a great school with great teachers and students. Patty Ray who has been assigned to your school will do a wonderful Job.

If it wasn't for my daughters doing exceptionally well here they would have gotten zero stars from me. My son has adhd and since he has been at this school he has also acquired dysthimia as well because his second grade year teacher had no clue as to how to handle a child with adhd. I sat in the class with my son everyday with him for two months to observe myself and it almost felt as if I worked there because I became his teacher in class. The counselor and principal called me everyday to come to the school and always talk to him. He started Ritalin and concerta also to help him here and they still couldn't manage him. If your child has adhd do not send your child here. They need to be educated more on it

I find it highly irrational that if a parent takes their child to this school and the morning bell rings upon arrival that the kids that depend on the breakfast at school are refused breakfast because the bell rang already and are instead sent to class on a hungry stomach. there is no excuse for that something should be done.
