As a graduate from Manalapan High School it is well run to prepare students for college. The AP Programs are great, the after school activities are great, and the sports programs are great. Overall great school for a great education.

Manalapan High School gives students a top notch education. I have two children who graduated from here and went on 4-year colleges. The newest principal Jeff Simon has done a great job with making the school a safer learning environment and has done well with enforcing rules and following through with consequences. The sports teams are average, have good years here and there. Baseball and soccer(girls+boys) have been really great in most recent years. There are many clubs to join and they plan lots of in school events for the students. Many parents are involved as well. The students who come out of the science+engineering program are remarkably intelligent and few and far between. Through and through, great school.

My son will be graduating this year, and has exceeded beyong my expectations! Someone was accepted to Harvard this year also. My son had excellent SAT and ACT scores, and was accepted to his first choice school. The person who says there is little to do doesn't know what they're talking about, as this school has plenty to offer. The new principal is fantastic also, and all I see is the school getting better and better. The whole school is top notch, definitely not just the S&E program. It is far from an average school.

Manalapan hs is pretty average high school. However the Science and Engineering program is top notch and will make any science and math related college education easy.

I have to say I don't agree with the posting a parent sent in(March 2008) which said that their child has not ver little at Manalapan HS. I have a daughter who is a junior there. She is doing very well. She has good SAT scores and has excellent grades. She is also very involved in many of the sports Manalapan has to offer. She also has met great friends who are also doing very well and are being accepted into great colleges. Every school has its issues with drugs and teachers who aren't the best. I have to say I have been happy with the education my daughter has gotten there and I look forward to her succeeding in her college years.

Manalapan High School has come around throughout the beginning of the 21st century. With a new principal and a completely transformed guidance office, the students at MHS are learning in a safer an healthier environment. School officials have cut down the amount of bad influences, such as drugs and violence. There are now smoke detectors all over the school and cameras in nearly every hallway. Although the school has come a long way, there is still a need for improvement. The athletic program is extremely important to many Manalapan High School faculty and students, but with that said academics need to come first. Manalapan High School is a great place for students to develop their individuality, but the faculty needs to continue to work on enforcing the importance of education.

Manalapan High School will teach your children very little. The curriculum is surrounded by the teachings of the holacaust. The faculty concentrates on disciplinary actions for tardiness and other infractions, and spends little time pressing for academics. If you want your child to fail in life, send them to Manalapan High School. Believe it or not, this is my honest opinion, as I have had three children all pass through this school and they will most likely have difficult lifestyles due the lack of education afforded at this institution.

My daughter is new to the school (9th grade). I have found a significant decline in the 'approach' of parent-teacher-student collaboration as compared to the junior high school. Big eye opener!
