The teachers are very understanding and easy to get along with assuming you do your work and not disrupt class. There are some teachers who I feel could be a little more involved in helping their students but overall the experience is amazing.

I've been at Cato since pre-k and I love it, especially knowing all my peers and growing up with them. There's no fights I just wish there were more sports opportunities.

What I like about Cato-Meridian Senior High School is the teachers and how nice they are to everyone. They treated everyone nicely. I liked when they have pep rally's and do fun stuff for sports. What I would like to see change is how my classmates are towards each other and the groups of people there is, it is very cliquey.

Excellent school, the teachers are avaiablefor one on one time with a student. the only concern that i have was the principal she tends not to keep a promise nor run the school in an orderly fashion. She rarley addresses a problem and if she does it never follows through to the student

Cato-Meridian is one of the top schools in the State. Great facilities, great teachers, and an outstanding environment to grow up in. I was extremely blessed to grow up in such a tight knit town. I now am very successful in my professional life and owe it all to being raised a Blue Devil!!!
