Manchester Local

The Manchester Local district in Ohio is home to three schools: Nolley Elementary School, Manchester High School, and Manchester Middle School. These schools have demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence, with several standout performers in the district.

Nolley Elementary School is a shining example, consistently ranking among the top 125 elementary schools in Ohio and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform the state averages in both math and English language arts, and the school boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate. Manchester Middle School also stands out, ranking in the top 189 middle schools in Ohio and with impressive test scores that exceed the state averages in science, math, and English language arts. Notably, 100% of its students were proficient or better in Algebra I, outperforming the district and state.

While Manchester High School also performs well, with students scoring above the state averages in several subjects, there is a slight dip in performance compared to the middle school, particularly in math. This could indicate a need to focus on supporting students during the transition from middle to high school. Additionally, the district's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the schools may be serving a more affluent population, and it would be worth exploring whether the district is providing equitable access and support to students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
