Almost done with my Freshman year here at Manzano. There is one specifi teachers I'll never forget and that's my Biology teacher, Mr. Duran. He really really cares about his students and will give you his full honest insight about anything. But overall I don't think the teachers really care. Sports and BAND! Is huge! GO BAND(: Clarinets all the waaay:) If you want more socializing than education then go here. I'm hoping to go to Eldorado next year for a better education.

Very unhappy with this school. The teachers don't care actually the whole school don't care. My daughter went through 5 math teachers and still didn't find a good one. The spanish teacher she had, he had his favorites (the blondes) only. APS school system is not a great system at all.

Manzano is a great school. It's great for kids who aren't involved in sports and are independent. I enjoy the school, don't go in for counseling, and get to know your teachers. It's not hard, it's dedication

Amazing School - strong teacher/parent commitment to the students. The best principle in APS.

Very disapointed in the teaching staff and the counceling department. As a divorced working mother I tried to keep updated on my son's progress using every means possible. I logged onto the web site to try and keep up with his grades. This does not work because all the teachers are not required to post grades to the web site (because; I was told '...some teachers are not very confident with using a computer.' (are we not in the 21st century?) and those who choose to post grades do not do it timely or regularly. I tried to call his counselor. This did not work because the couselor was never in and very rarely returned the calls. His secretary was more help but by the time I found her a week later she left the school. They want parents involved? Why don't they help us keep involved?

Not happy with the school. When my oldest attended, the school was more goal oriented on education. But now Manzano seems to be more 'goal' oriented on sports.

Students need to take responsibility for making their high school experience the best. Take AP classes and get involved. Manzano provided the best opportunities for me. The only problem with the school is the lack of compassion found in their counseling department.

Teachers are probably the worst of the bunch there at Manzano. If your child is not involved in sports then they just do not care about them. My child went to Manzano for 2 years and I have decided to transfer my child to another school so we can make sure 'education' is top priority!! Manzano needs to be cleaned up, starting with the teachers.
