What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 10, 2019

Last year my son attended a school rated 10/10. We moved to Manchester (memorial high) and now he's petrified. The school is full of gangs, drugs, and violence. Monday, five calls to the police, now police are all over the school trying to keep it calm. School didn't inform anyone until the next day parents complained. His AP Math teacher is head of the department and he sits on his phone instead of teaching the class. His other teachers are doing a great job. I feel bad for kids or parents that would recommend this school. They must not have any idea what a good school is. I also feel bad for the teachers. We will move to get out of this school.
