The mission of the Manchester City School District is to educate each student in a safe, supportive, Pre K-9 school environment that promotes self-discipline, motivation, and excellence in learning. The System has been recognized for its high student achievement in the Tennessee Department of Education’s State Report Card. Manchester City Schools has earned a status of “Good Standing” by having met all federal benchmarks established by No Child Left Behind in reading/language arts, math, percent of students tested, and attendance rate. These benchmarks were met for all subgroups at each of Manchester’s three SACS accredited schools: College Street Elementary, Westwood Elementary, and Westwood Junior High. One hundred percent of the System’s teachers have achieved “highly qualified” status.
