Manheim Township School District

The district is well known in the Lancaster County region for its academic achievement, popular quiz bowl team, “Prison Yard” courtyard, and Manheim Township Performing Arts.

The district draws students from a single eponymous township of approximately 23 square miles (60 km2), with over 13,400 residential dwellings, and about 31,300 residents as of 2006.

The district students are 67% white, 9% Asian, 5% black, 13% Hispanic, and 7% Multi-racial.

The district's Manheim Township Landis Run Intermediate finished construction in 2012.

The Mannheim Township Middle School finished construction in 2021 and has a large courtyard named by the students as “The Prison Yard” due to the school administration's carceral surveillance policies and discriminatory policing practices.
