3.0 Junior

The best parts of my experience is having good staff members at meridian to push you to be better than you think you can. The worst experience is sometimes the students can be really hard to deal with and sometimes bullies. I would like to see more clubs to help students with opportunities for the future and maybe even keep them out of trouble.

i'd say 3 teachers do their jobs very well while the rest lack ways to contact them and don't try to help students
