Manning Oaks Elementary School

Great passionate teachers. Love their Family activities like International Night, movie nights, kickball, music programs, and Science Night.

Great school fantastic teachers and nice environment

When more than 1/2 of the kids are crying in the bus on the last day of school, you know these teachers have positive, meaningful rapport with their students! Every year I think "wow, we have the best teacher"!

I've read a few comments praising the diversity at MOE, but let's be honest! The school has a diverse student body and that is all. MOE is north of Atlanta in a predominately white area and the chances of your child being taught by a teacher of your child's ethnicity is slim to none if he/she is not white. Glad I cleared that up. This year I have noticed more testing with my child. My child has taken over 12 "assessments" in the span of 22 school days and if my child continues to test at this rate my child would have taken over 70 test by the end of the school year and that does not include Milestone, ITBS and/or TAG testing. MOE is teaching to test and sadly my child is more concerned with grades and test scores than he is learning. I have had good and not so good experiences at MOE, but the thing that annoys me the most is the overemphasis on testing. I found that certain teachers focus so much on test prep that communication, organization and the like is secondary. It is truly disappointing and I would urge all parents to pay attention to how testing affects their children's attitude towards learning and school overall.
