My experience with Meridian High School is overall pretty good however there are a lot of improvements that I think should be made. improvements towards facilities like the bathroom and gym because they are a lot older and worn down. Meridian has some very good teachers but I think we would benefit a lot for these teachers to have more materials and resources.

Meridian High School is a great place where people can feel welcome. They tend to focus on inclusivity and are always looking to improve in academics, activities, and overall experience for their students. The Staff and Admin are great and it has been a wonderful experience being apart of this school.

So far I have had one graduate from this school and 2 more are right behind. Other than the one teacher, my kids have all had great experiences here. This school has come a long way and you can feel confident in sending your children here.

I really don't agree with their rule, "no hats or hoods". I mean, come on, it's cold even inside. When I'm cold, I can't pay attention, but sometimes people wear a hat or hood to express themselves; my hood is my personality. Overall, teachers are nice, very friendly.
