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.

Merritt Academy is a great school! It's not very big so students get lots of one-on-one time with teachers to ask questions and receive help, if need be. Also, it's great in terms of receiving an education.
5.0 Senior

It was my decision to switch to Merritt Academy from Anchor Bay Middle School and it is the best decision I made so far. The staff and students made me feel comfortable from the very start and as I go through graduation they continue to follow up with me and make sure I have everything I need. Merritt Academy also makes my parents feel like part of the family so much they have offered to volunteer and coach our volleyball team.

I attended Merritt Academy from preschool until I graduated high school. All throughout my school years, I had nothing but endless support from all of the staff and my peers. The teachers there are teaching to see each student succeed, and they truly do care.
