GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Merryville has a decent number of extracurricular activities available but the school focuses most on the football program.

The teachers are what make Merryville an okay place to attend. Most teachers are friendly and try to make the subjects entertaining and some act as pseudo-parents by making sure that the students are caught up with their work from other classes and just genuinely trying to help.

The reason this school is unique is because of how small it is. The academics aren't the best, but provides you with the education you need. The teachers are wonderful and the counselor is very informative.
