I love this school. I love the teachers. I love the principal and vice principal. This is, by far, the best school in Fresno.

We LOVE this school and my son is thriving here. The teachers are so skilled at what they do and give their hearts 100%. Mr. Painter, principal, is so involved and friendly. He's so proud of his school and it shows in the kids! They have so many field trips and enriching extracurricular activities including plays and music. Any student invited here would have a great experience!

As a grandparent of a Manchester, I have been impressed with the variety of enriching activities offered to the students. I do, however, feel that the extremely outdated bungalows need to be removed from campus, and replaced with rooms with higher ceilings and more light. The principal is a welcoming presence on campus, and knows all the students by name. I highly recommend this school.

Gifted and Talented Education is an understatement for this wonderful school. I will never forget how friendly the school enviornment was when I entered Manchester four years ago. The teachers are very thoughtful and amazingly bright. If I wouldn't have gone to Manchester, I wouldn't be so inspired to get a good education and be successful. Because of everything that this school has to offer, I am on track to being a freshman at University High School. Thank you, Mr. Painter for being so supportive of your students. It really makes a difference. -Submitted by a student

Great School, teachers and staff are the best. Wonderful curriculum for the gifted and talented learner. My child is so much happier than at the home school.

This is such a great school!! I didn't realize how bad my other sons school was until he started going to Manchester last year. They do lots of field trips and fun hands on projects at this school. The teachers are great! The principal is awesome too. He is always walking around and talking to people. There is a lot of parent involvement which I like too. They have a couple plays a year, music, computers, science night, pinewood derby races..just to name a few. My son is SO lucky he can go to this school. I am thankful.
