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.

My son has had a phenomenal experience at Merriam Ave. The teachers are excellent and really care about their students and there are a number of extra activities for them to get involved in that provide a well rounded school experience.

I love Merriam Avenue School, the teachers have been wonderful and the technology is great. The teachers, librarian, music, spanish and other special items offered are also top notch. The one item lacking is the parent involvement, you see the same parents helping and doing at all the events.

My child is given the attention she needs and is well motivated to do her work which I feel is because of the teachers willingness to deal with every child individually.
