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.

horrible, honestly. unless you have no hope for your kid or you want them to have interesting stories instead of an actual education, don’t enroll your kids here.

Some teacher and students at Meredith are occansionly rude. It kinda suck that teachers judge you base on the way they see you. For one example, just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I don't know English. Just because I don't look "normal" doesn't mean that you have to act like I'm from another planet...
