Manor Heights students learn math through the Bridges and Connected Math programs. The programs provide hands-on activities, problem-solving experiences and connections between math and writing for all students. The Balanced Literacy framework focuses on small group, guided instruction tailored specifically to students’ needs. The reading program focuses on both teacher-guided and individual interest to foster a love of reading.

Progress monitoring student performance and utilizing student focus meetings guide the instructional practices. The school also is
