Kyrene de las Manitas School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-19 “I love Manitas. My daughter has been at Manitas since she was in pre-school. She is now in 5th grade. The teachers are dedicated and knowledgable. The technology beats other districts around hands down and the curriculum and resources are state of the art. Their emergency plans and dismissal procedures are very structured plus the teachers seem to work well together. To me this makes a great school. To the reviewer who said teachers pass that time, please do not lump all teachers together!!!! I have seen my daugters 6 teachers put in endless hours coming up with strategies and lessons to best teach each child. I moved from another state specifically because I did not want my child to attend their schools... even though the schools system got good ratings. I choose Manitas for my daughter and we love it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-09-17 “Warning! parents this school is horrible the classes are over crowded and there is little to no one on one time with the kids. The staff seem to be passing the time and there is no indicator that they care about the kids at all!!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-04-26 “My dealings with the Principal and Assistant Principal have proven them to be very immature in their dealings and not prone to making the hard decisions. They seem more concerned with making everyone happy, than taking care of problems when they arise, which might make them more effective, but unpopular with a handful of parents. The teachers I am familiar with, have been wonderful and the parent involvement seems typical; the same bunch of parents come to, and do, everything. Extracurricular activities seem the same as other schools, as does safety. However, proper discipline of children who have done wrong or misbehaved, is sorely lacking by the leadership of the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-03-26 “I LOVE Manitas, I was very frustrated with the AZ school system after leaving SABIS International and the Roosevelt School district. I took immediate action to move over to the Kyrene district and to my delight, I am 100% satisfied with the School, teachers, activities and academics. I am so glad to be at Manitas and my children love it too!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-16 “My children have attended Kyrene de Las Manitas since pre-school they are both now in 3rd and 5th grade respectfully. This school has an excellent staff, including administration, teachers, aides, cafeteria and playground personal they are all wonderful. The office staff knows each and every child by name who attends (including most of the parents and past students) and believe me with over 600 kids this is not an easy task. They make every child feel welcome and cared for. The most of the teachers make every effort to collaborate with parents in every aspect of the leaning process. This school has come a long way from just your average school to now an Excelling School (way to go Manitas). I am going to be sad when my 3rd grade leaves it is truly our home away from home.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-30 “Excellent school. We were very fortunate to move in the neighborhood! Our daughter is in her second year at Manitas and we are very pleased. The teachers are fantastic and parent involvement is great! We will be thrilled that our second daughter will be attending next year!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-01 “This is an outstanding school for academics, safety, sense of community, and building character skills. Many of the teachers and the assistant principal are outstanding. Teachers we have experienced have gone above and beyond to help our child to be involved, interested, and excited about learning.”
