Mission Statement
The Staff, Administration and Board of Education of Manhattan District 114 are committed to promoting excellence in student achievement and student behavior, enabling children to become successful life-long learners.
This slide contains the Manhattan School District #114 Mission Statement. All of us remain committed to not only helping our students become the very best students they can be, but the very best person and citizen. I believe with how our students and their families answered the call this past fall after the tornado hit our area, and the way they always demonstrate a caring attitude and nature during the holidays and whenever asked, it is clearly evident that this is a Mission Statement that everyone in Manhattan, “Lives.”

This past summer, the administrative team worked on developing goals that closely mirrored the mission statement and beliefs of the district…and what we believed were the greatest priority for our staff and students. What you see on this slide is what we finally ended up with…4 Goals that drive each decision we make this year and into the future. As we move forward, we will continue to reevaluate these goals as well as develop new goals as necessary. We believe that these goals represent the very foundation from which our continued success will build on. Since developing the goals, we have worked hard on developing an Action Plan to further ensure that we hold ourselves accountable for establishing a lasting culture for years to come that will last beyond all of us.

Manhattan’s student population has stayed relatively stable over the previous 5 years, before showing a marked increase this past year. Manhattan is the only district in the Lincoln Way area to show an increase in enrollment during this time period, while all others lost enrollment, with the exception of Frankfort, which remained mostly unchanged. The past two years have seen Manhattan enroll its two largest Kindergarten classes. At our highest point this school year, our total enrollment has been 1355 students. We will be keeping a very close watch on the enrollment trend .If the growth continues, then it could mean that there will be a need in the future, for another building or addition to the Manhattan Schools.

6. Current Enrollment March Student Enrollment – 1435
Enrollment stands at 1435 students, up 48 students from our Fall enrollment count on Sept. 30.
We expect the enrollment to continue to increase slightly before the end of the year possibly, depending on if new families moving into Manhattan choose to change schools prior to the end of the year.
Projecting an increase for as the Village projects a possible 100 new homes to be built. New homes going up in Sunset Lakes, Leighland Bridge, Western Springs, and Hanover Estates.
Another 2.5% increase would add an additional 28 students for the school year and push the enrollment above 1460.
The current rate of growth would have Manhattan 114 exceeding 1500 students by the year
