The district students are 67% white, 9% Asian, 5% black, 13% Hispanic, and 7% Multi-racial.^[1] Manheim Township High School finished construction in 2008. 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.^{[citation needed]}
