Manhattan High School Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 362 reviews
I loved my experience at Manhattan high school! I graduated in 2018 and now am attending kansas state university. While at MHS I participated in track, swimming, and football. In my four years I only had one teacher who I really disliked and she still was able to work with me to help me learn better. I struggle a lot with my focus and my teachers did a very good job at being aware of how I was acting and helping! I spent most of my time in the shop classes and I was excited to come to school every morning because I was able to work with my hands! Overall MHS was a great school!
Manhattan Virtual Academy's teachers are amazing and love to make sure every student has the best chance at actually understanding the material. Our counselor helped me a ton when it came to choosing my classes in order to pursue my ideal career as well. MVA also does Academic Outings all over the state so students can connect with each other. The school is very inclusive and encourages families of all backgrounds to enroll. Staff is all very accepting of students' gender identity, sexual orientation, and encourage individuality. The only place I would say MVA needs improvement is in the arts program and the clubs, because there are few options to choose from. That said, the clubs and arts that they do have, they really excel at.
My experience at Manhattan High School has been great! I really enjoy the school because there is so much opportunity there to really pursue whatever you want. I'm an avid writer so being able to be an active participant in my school's newspaper has been a joy! With that comes being apart of my school's yearbook and other forms of publications that I have a lot of interest in. Besides journalism, there are a tremendous amount of other clubs and organizations that MHS has to offer.
