My daughter has been attending this school scince the 5th grade and she and me absolutley love it!The teachers are great and are always there when you need them!

There should be separate buses available for these students of such a large age difference. I do not like the fact that my 13yr. old daughter is riding the bus with a high school senior. As far as the cell phones go...it's in every school, everywhere. Kids today are exposed to so much more technology and media than when we parents were at their age. Lets face it, if cell phones, ipods, gameboys, etc., were available to us back then, we would have wanted them too. I don't think that students in grades 5-8 should have a prom. Overall, I think that Man Central is a great school. There does need to be more parent involvement, but it's not the school's fault that we parents do not participate..the opportunity for us to do so is there. So, if we want to see an improvement in this school, let's make it happen.

Too many children attend this school. Grades 5-8 students ride the bus with High School students grades 9-12. The younger children are exposed to more than necessary. The 5th grade students have lunch at 10:30am. This school also has a Prom for 6-8grades these childrens also carry cell phones grades 3-8th.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST 2) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, and grades 3 through 11 in social studies. The WESTEST 2 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
