What school district is Manheim Elementary School part of?
Our family has been very pleased with our child's experience at Manheim Elementary. The low student: teacher ratio is a major plus and I feel are part of the reason for our child's positive test scores. We have always had positive experiences with all the staff (both teaching and administrative). The school has been recently renovated and has been well kept for. We wish there was a greater level of diversity among the students however I recognize that it reflects the lack of diversity in the local community.

Its a small school where everyone knows everyone else. This is nice in one way but not in another. After having foster kids and my own kids attend the school I have found the teachers and administration to be sorely lacking. They have no ability to accommodate special needs or circumstances. There is one way of doing things and thats it. I am very disappointed in my experiences here and worst of all, my kids suffered for it.
