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.

I went to Meisler from 6th-8th grade and I can honestly say I loved school then. Life was easy and the environment was awesome.

Meisler! Just the name makes me cringe! My time at this school was the worst year of my life. Some of the teachers actually care but it is a very few handful of them. I had two teachers out of eight that actually seemed to enjoy their job the others acted like they were in prison! If you were smart...

Horrible school! The teachers and activities are great, but what gives this school a 1 (I wish I could give 0.5) is the students. They are the worst ever! So many bullies! They have dirty minds and they think doing wrong stuff is cool. Kids who are smart are called nerds and unpopular. SO MEAN KIDS!

Due to the incompetence of the leadership (i.e. principal and school counselor) the school is run as a totalitarian regime. Do not trust the administrative leadership of the school. You will be fooling yourself if you think so otherwise. I feel sorry for the wonderful teachers.
