"Mixed Feelings"

We've had a mixed experience so far with Manchester Academy. The Chatty Cafe is a great initiative, but the communication from the school could be better, and we've had some issues with attendance tracking in the Arbor Parent Portal.

"A Great Place to Learn"

We were part of the Manchester Academy community for 3 years, and my child made some fantastic memories and friendships. The education with character program was a standout for us, and the school's commitment to values is evident throughout.
