"i am currently in sixth grade at manhattan east. and i LOVE it so much. i live all the way in the bronx. its hard to go to school there, the traveling and everything. but its completely worth it. i didn't think so at first, but i made so many great and amazing friends. they may have a soccer team, and theres art, drama, dance, jewelry making and so on. the only thing thats annoying is walking up 5 flights of stairs, and being on top of two really bad schools. i love this school. the staff is very nice, lovable and comforting. everyone feels like a big family. my class, 6J, say we're a big happy family. the staff feels like a second family. the school feels lie a home. i love you manhattan east, i wish i could stay there forever. i espeicially liked when we got to pie the teachers. i got to pie my math teacher. :D <3"

"(continuation of the last post tht started with "I am currently in the 8th grade at Manhattan East) There are many many druggies at ME, mostly 8th grade, but sometimes 7th. There is a LOT of bullying going on at the school, and at the end of last year, a student left because she had gotten in a disagreement at the beginning of the 6th grade. A rumor was made about her that everyone knew was false, yet they continued bullying her just for the fun of bullying someone. The list of complaints fo on and on, but I hope that this is enough to convince 5th graders going to 6th NOT to come to this school. It may seem like a very good school, but in the few years I've been here, this school has gone downhill a lot."

"I am currently in the 8th grade at Manhattan East and i cannot wait to get out of this school. There are some fantastic teachers but over the last 3 years, our best 5 teachers have left. I have heard rumors that the teacher tht is currently the best at ME is planning on leaving. We are now faced with half of the teachers just not being able to teach. Dont get me wrong, there are some very very very good teachers! but there are some teachers that just bring the school down completely. On top of that, the principal covers up things, cannot control the students, and when she punishes us, she goes way overboard in a way that will not benefit us at all. She is NOT a good principal. The only reason that parents have the illusion of the school being good when they visit on tours is because the students know how to act and so do the parents. For example, the tours almost always happen when my class is in spanish. We do not respect the teacher at all, and he can never control us and he never teaches us so we are out of control. When the tours come in, we know how to sit quietly, listen to the teacher, and pay attention and to do our work."

"Manhattan East had its arts program cut. Children no longer have dance, drama or chorus. Classes are generally taught at an advanced level. The school is behind the times when it comes to computers/electronic communications and does not use its online communication tools effectively (homework assignments, grades, etc are posted after the fact so it is not particularly useful to a parent or student). Homework makes up a fair amount of the grade in any subject. Some teachers give more than a reasonable amount of homework. Some good, inspiring teachers here along with some mediocre ones. Help with homework given before and after school. Sports: Not really an option. Art and Music offered. Each child chooses and learns an instrument (although limited to wind, brass and percussion). School trips: Varies, but all children go to "Nature's Classroom." Parent Involvement: Some fund raising activity, but could be improved-not much communication from the PTA to parents. Partnerships: relationship with Harlem School for the arts and New Victory Theatre, could form a partnership with a university (NYU or Teachers College or Bank Street come to mind)."
