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 really enjoyed the options for extra-curricular classes/activities offered at Meridian Middle School. It was big enough to offer a variety of sports, music, academic and areas to serve and learn together in a non-threatening environment. Students and teachers were all aware of how to make learning fun and challenging for everyone all at the same time. We had the whole gamut of learning styles--special needs to honors classes.

Rules are selectively enforced, and punishments for the same offense range from a warning to multi-day suspension depending on how much t...
