Overcrowded and full of badly behaved kids. Low on academics too. Worst of the RVSD schools.

Great school, great community, great principal (We'll miss you, Cat), great teachers. Manor focuses on the 'whole' child, socialization, arts, community, respect, caring and trust play as big a role as test scores.

I love the community and the multi-age program they offer. They have great teachers. My daugther can't wait for the week end to be over to return to school.

Community community community. The Families, Teachers, and Administrators are committed to community building. This goes hand in hand with the school's commitment to academic excellence. Both of my children are thriving.

We love Manor! Our son is thriving there. His teacher is amazing. They do so much with so little, considering how schools are funded in CA. Every parent I have ever talked to has been happy with the school. And the kids love it, too!

When I see my grandson fulfilled each day when he arrives home from school, I know something special is going on. Manor has always had a good reputation and now I can experience joy for the school on the basis of the results I see


Posted September 16, 2009

I am the parent of two kids at Manor. The teachers at Manor are fantastic and have given my children a love of learning. One of the reasons we moved to Fairfax was the quality of the schools in the Ross Valley School district and I have been thrilled with the education my kids are getting. Despite the California budget cuts, the community has worked together to raise funds for art, music, PE and technology.

This is a good school, with great community involvement.

Posted April 1, 2005

Most of the teachers are really good... both K teachers are great. But... the MAP program (which is lottery based) has a great parent-involved, project based program.
—Submitted by a parent

We have had an exceptional first year at Manor. We looked at private schools, as well as public, and have found everything we want at Manor...great teachers, great program, great families!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
