Research Manheim Township High School Public Schools in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

“All of my children graduated from MT and I can't think of anything to complain about. Some of the students had nicer cars than I did:) I wish I had been lucky enough to get a Manheim Township education.”

“When each of my 3 children started college I asked them how well prepared they felt they were. All said that they were very well prepared compared to the other college students! Thank you Manheim Township!”

“I am a former student and I still think this is the greatest school. Smart, dedicated faculty paired with supportive administration as well as enough money for all of the important things and a school board with priorities straight make for an unbeatable combination!”

“I am a sophomore at Penn State and I know that I would not be at Penn State today if it were not for the great teachers at township. You cant beat the education you get at township. I was an avg student in high school and transitioned well to college. Township prepares the students well by offering a lot of AP classes and holding students to high expectations. Township also has excellent sports programs. The only negative thing about township is the overly-strict principles, who seem all too eager to hand out detention and ISS (in school suspension) for little things. Overall, the school is amazing. I was way ahead of other freshmen in college when I came to PSU, and found my first year classes to be rather easy because of the level of education I received at township. Go PSU!!!!!”

“I am a former student who continued on to Art School. The art program, for a high school level, is outstanding. The sports programs are the best in the area as well. The teachers are always available for after school help, and they truly want to see us succeed. I loved my high school experience, and I wouldn't have my children go anywhere else.”

“Manheim Township has excellent Sports and Academics and a wonderful new school!”

“I go to manheim township high school and I think it is doing a wonderful job in preparing me for college and life in general. The teaching staff is a pleasure.”

“This school has provided my children with the guidance they need to get into a good college. The facilities need some work. For example, there is no air conditioning in most of the building and the hallways are overpacked. There is not enough room for the amount of students. The classes are hard, but this school prepares students with their numerous AP classes and choices. The school athletics and spirit are top-notch!”

“MTHS offers a top notch education to those kids who want to work. MT offers courses that you would only find in private schools elsewhere. The teachers are very available to give extra help during study halls or after school, if your child seeks it. There are four principals and five guidance professionals for a school of 1639--that is phenomenal. There are countless opportunities to cultivate personal passions such as music, art, drama, quiz bowl, athletics, etc. The only downside of MTHS is the horrible condition of our building. Some kids have dropped out of band this year because the band room is so cramped--that is a sin in a township that is so blessed fianancially. We have dragged our feet on renovations and now we are paying the high price of waiting. Thankfully, we have the best superintendent in the universe. He will get the building in shape!”

“High quality programs; tends to focus on the college bound. Many extracurricular; sports are very competitive. High level of parental involvement.”

“I am a sophomore in college who attended Manheim Township. I feel that the academic programs prepared me well for college. The art program is very good for a public school, in fact, it's better than that of my college. The music program is relatively good. The sports programs are wonderful, but although students can create clubs with a teacher to sponsor, the variety of clubs is sometimes lacking. There is a high level of parental involvement in the school.”

“Great academic offerings. Strong reputation for academic performance and many extracurricular opportunities. New building will be underway this year and will provide even more opportunities.”

“A wonderful school which prepared me for the college level.”

“Manheim Township is the most prestigious school in Lancaster County. The academic courses provided and the teaching staff is second to none.”

“Respectable academics, solid music and art programs, sports becoming more prominent, wide variety of extracurricular activities for those not athletically inclined.”

“Manheim Township has a great cariculum and wonderful teachers. The only problem is the building. The school activities are wonderful and the students can always get help if they need it from teachers.”

“The school building is an embarassment. It is outdated and does not serve the kids well. The academics are begining to suffer due to the poor appearence and quality of the building. The custodians have there hands full making the environment acceptable and conducive to learning.The teachers work hard tomake studnets comfortable and well taught. If you send your child here make sure they do not eat in the outdated cafeteria for the food is atrocious.”

“Manheim Township is based upon social standards. The teachers along with administrators treat different students differently depended on their parents social standard. Although, the curriculum is very good the policies are very out dated and the dress code is ridiculous.”

“The School Building and district is very old and has grown over the years. Its policies are out dated. The ciriculum is well balanced and the teachers prepare the students well for higher level education”
