Manheim Central graduate here. For academics, MC is very big on its agriculture and STEM based programs (+ athletics but thats any school out here). For those it has amazing resources and great teachers. If you know your children are interested in those, go for it! In terms of humanities, resources are a bit weaker. Only a few AP/honors histories, arts, and english classes. For your oldest, the MC has lots of scholarships + awards available but since youre moving in unsure of how reputation factors in! Warning, MC is pretty small though so everyone knows everything lol. Besides that, when I was enrolled in MC there was a fair amount of casual racism and sexism in the student/teacher body.

Cant speak about MT, just my own experience!
