4.0 Junior

2/22/2020

One thing that I can say is the best about my school is the diversity in culture. Since there's that it also lead to creating clubs supporting cultures, from K pop dance group to Mecha.

1.0 Junior

Not good, they only care about attendance rather than grades. Bullying is a very common thing, they only intervene when a fight breaks out. Administration needs massive change, some of the policies they set are just outrageous, if you can stay in Mr. Mullenberg's he is probably the best teacher there.

4.0 Sophomore

11/30/2018

I would say that Merrill Highschool is pretty much an average school. I'm a sophomore currently at Merrill Highschool and I think it is a pretty much a good school. It's saftey is alright and the College readiness is awesome they have a lot for students to chose from. There is also a lot of fun and exciting club and activities though their sports don't have many option they are pretty much average. But their food it poor not enough food.

Not only did I see neglect in education and wellbeing of students when I was in school, but now I am seeing it with my own family now attending the school. I feel the sports program at the Merrill High School is comical. The coaches do not provide the same opportunities for all the students playing...

Classes are more about attendance rather than grades. Teachers are there for only the money not for the future of the students. After COVID-19 hit the area, the schools just been getting worse. Not looking like a bright future for Merrill Schools.

Not good, they care more about attendance than grades. Many administration policies needs change but the board of education will not approve or listen to you.
