Manzanita Middle School

as a graduate from Manzanita, i can only speak highly of this amazing school. They helped me so much not just in school work but personal problems, the teachers are easy to talk to and always have great advice. The school may be small but its wonderful.

Manzanita has excellent teachers and administration who keep parents well informed of their child's academic progress and school activities. Thanks for keeping your website current. Great job!!!!!

I went to Manzanita last year but I decided to go to a bigger school because I thought I would get a better education there. I was wrong this is a great school for anyone who wants to do well in life, who wishes to succeed or for those who are giving up on themselves. they make sure your getting the education you need public schools arent best i thought i would do good in my new school but im falling behind due to lack of teacher quality even in the advanced classes. in manzanita theyll do whatever they have to do to get you to succeed

My son is currently a 6th grader and I am really pleased with the educations he is receiving at this school. It is a small school with lots of parent envolvement and excellent teachers/admin who care!!

The 7th 8th grades are each only 50 students total. Each are devided into two classes making them 25 per class. The whole school is only 150 students. What the school lacks, music & language arts, it more than makes up in other areas.

Hi: The class size is 25, and there are two groups at each level- so while there are 50 students in each of the levels, there are only 25 in each room. LD

The good news is it's small and the bad news is it's small. Compared to all the other public option in WCCUSD your child will be safe and received somewhat individualized attention. There is no music or foreign language. Due the the increasing popularity of Manzanita, you will have to put in your 75 hours to even have a chance of getting in. If your child needs an option other than a huge school and you can't afford private school... this is your place.

Manzanita is a great school with a number of pluses. I am a parent of a 2nd year student. Small class sizes, good teachers,constantly being informed about the child's progress. If she doesn't do her work I'll get a phone call. Almost everything is done by parent volunteers and the students themselves. It is a great community. It helps tremendously having parents around who assist in their child's education. The teacher's actually care about students and their families and are constantly looking at ways to improve learning and to create an atmosphere for students to be creative. My daughter loves going to school!
